AIS Live Sites

For those that don't know what AIS is:

AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM.
It is a system where ships automatically broadcast their position, course and speed, together with other information about their name, call sign, dimensions, ship type, destination and ETA, on a pair of radio channels in the Maritime VHF band. The system is part of the Safety of Life at Sea system and is intended to assist in reducing collisions between ships.


Any one know of any good sites in their area?
