Ship watching explained

Ship watching or ship spotting is a form of outdoor activity and tourism that is carried out worldwide by observing and photograph various ships in the waterways where there is a lot of ship traffic.^[1]

In the United States, for example, ship watching is practiced in Two Harbors, Minnesota, over Lake Superior,^[2] while in Japan, it is done on the ships that pass through the Uraga Channel at Kannonzaki Park, Kanagawa, Japan.^[3] In China, as many ships go up and down the Changjiang, River Bank Parks in Hankou and in Wuchang, in the city of Wuhan, are good places to enjoy ship watching.^[4]
