A picture of a sailing ship should appear above. If it does not, but other illustrations in the site do, please excuse our temporary technical glitch.  Some browsers do not pick up all of our  illustrations, we are working on that. . The best performance for graphics on our site so far appears to be with Google or Google Chrome. Most illustrations and all hyper-links work with all browsers that we are aware of but non Google browsers tend to drop certain of our illustrations. We have not found the cause yet.

 After viewing the video let it run to the very end where a thumbnail gallery of unrelated stills appears then simply click on the YouTube "back arrow" at the top left corner and you should arrive right back here. If you still have questions after that, look to the right of the sailing ship and click on  INTRODUCTION.

 If you are an "Old Hand" with us, today's blogs can still be reached by simply scrolling down. When you see another station ID you've covered the day's blogs and are starting on the previous day's.. At some point simply scrolling down won't work. simply click on the title you want on the right, or when the titles run out click on a month, and a new stream of titles will appear. 

 If you come here regularly for daily maritime news, there are often interesting items in the blogs but over on the right if you click on NEWS SERVICE  you will go straight to our constantly updated piracy reports, headline service, and hyperlinks to the world's English Language on line maritime news services.

We occasionally post news and feature alerts as the cyber publishing day wears on right here on the Station Id in red. Check back often we are constantly changing.
