Britain from Above: Ships Crossing the Channel

Britain from Above: Ships Crossing the Channel

Welcome to the ocean's M25! Find out for yourself just how dangerously busy the sea gets in this insightful look at the English Channel.

GPS tracking devices follow 24 hours of shipping, turning watery vessels into visible lights and letting us follow them on the crowded waves.

Streams of south bound ships stick to the left hand side (England) and north heading boats hug the French side. And, anyone on board a booze cruise ferry makes a made dash in the middle of everyone else. Bon Voyage!
