Find a Ship - Google Satellite Maps
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, April 14, 2005 8:07 AM
This is neat:

http://maps.google.com/

First find the location on the map. Then switch to the satellite view. Then zoom in. Wish it got closer but it's not bad.

What ship is this in Norfolk?

Thanks!

Been looking for others but not much luck. Pearl Harbor is blacked out (won't let you zoom in ). I guess the good old days are gone. Oh well.

The "search" is not very good. You have to do it the manual way. From the main map - just keep clicking the "east" arrow till you come to Hawaii, then zoom in. It's fiddly so you have to click east west north south, etc.. but it does come up. Put it won't let you zoom all the way in.
