Try to follow this... Why am I posting a link to the Great Lakes Real Time Vessel Location site?You can track ships up and down the St. Lawrence river and the Great Lakes(Kinda like Paracelsus' link to Real time flight tracking)

I went to Tower Records over the weekend and bought Bruce Springsteen's We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions CD, cuz it was half off! (In your face Amazon!!!) Anyhow, listened to it with my kids and my daughter was singing along with Erie Canal, which was funny, because I remember learning that song as a kid.

So that whole Erie Canal thing was in my mind, when I saw This!

Yow! So I had to find out what that was all about, which led me to the Boatnerd site's account of it, and from there I just went nuts.

There are a lot of cool things on the boatnerd site(including its great name).How about a charity auction to win a "cruise"on a freighter?? Good times. No, seriously..I was Google-Earthing the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes...What a crazy place...Being from out West, we don't get to enjoy all of that industro-maritime coolness. Unless you live in Long Beach maybe. Feh!

And there you have it...Why I'm posting a vessel tracking link here.
Maybe it's a Synchronicity. Or not.
