photos - how do I find the MMSI?

Hi Guys

I'm in greece on holiday at the moment - I normally spend my time with my eyes turned skyward - but there's no airport for miles! To pass the time, I've engaged in a little ship spotting.. If I'm going to upload my photos to pinkfroot - do I need to find the registration (the equivalent of G-EUUA for example) or do I just put the ships name in the title and tags box? Also, which boats count as ships?

Sorry for the large number of silly questions, but like I said, I'm normally a plane spotter, and I'm just trying to help out the ship finder app with some new photos!

Many thanks

Jack

You will need the MMSI code, I use

http://www.shipcruise.org/cruise-ship-database.html

and a ship spotting website (if you know what I mean) don't think I can actually name it

I personally prefer the other way around, wish I didn't because cruising is more expensive than travelling to Heathrow or Manchester Airports :-), will sent some aircarft photos to pinkfroot I've done though.

I just google the ships name and then MMSI. eg. "Ship name MMSI" (no quotes). It usually works.

I use the Ship Finder App to locate the ship on my iPhone. If I get a photo of the ship I save the ship information to the camera roll by doing a screen shot of the Ship Finder App.
