Ship

[stratman]

Any Ideas what the military ship that has gone east through the firth ust now is? I think it had an American flag flying and a large number 58 on the side bu the way I shale when holding binoculars it may only have been a rowing boat.

Pretty sure this is it:

I'm taking to my self again! On further study there was definitely gun on the bow of the one I saw but not on the one on the site I found

I'm going to set up Stratman.org. I was right in that I was wrong and am now sure this is it.

Hey Stratman,
try this site (http://www.aisliverpool.org.uk/showship.php?refresh=5&count=1&map=-1&mmsi=232003526),it's not always live but shows you all the vessels travelling the firth, so if you see one try it, if it is live then you will see the name, IMO number, destination etc

Thanks Tugmistress

That looks extremely interesting. I until recently lived in the Lakedistrict overlooking the Irish sea and was excited seeing the IOM ferry, which was abut the only thing I'd see. But the firth is much richer pickings. Thanks.
