Ship Watching

Outdoor Wayfinding and Exploration Hobbies

Also called ship spotting, an outdoor hobby and form of tourism practiced worldwide in which enthusiasts observe and photograph ships passing through waterways that carry heavy traffic. Recognized spotting locations include Lake Superior near Two Harbors, Minnesota in the United States, Kannonzaki Park in Japan, which overlooks the Uraga Channel in Kanagawa, and riverside parks in Wuhan's Hankou and Wuchang districts along China's Yangtze River. This entity carries a shorter description than most of this wave's entities because the source article's own lead covers only what the hobby is and where it is practiced, with no stated history.
