\f0\fs24 \cf0 This animation is derived from data collected and archived by BoatingSF,com (http://www.boatingsf.com/index.php) in the course of maintaining their real time AIS display of the San Francisco Bay area maritime activity (http://www.boatingsf.com/ais_map.php). BoatingSF has posted a valuable animation of the November 7 Cosco Busam Alision ( http://www.boatingsf.com/busan.php). The animation is not time tagged, however, due to a loss of time tags in their archive. The archived data also only includes the AIS B channel resulting in some loss of time resolution in the derived display.\
\
The archived data does include several fixed beacon/base stations in the Bay Area that regularly transmit a message containing absolute time (UTC) to a one seconds resolution. These messages would be ignored in the normal course of BoatingSF operation. However interpreting these messages as well as a time stamped \'93second within the current minute\'94 in normal position reports allow the recovery of time stamps for the position location data.\
\
MV Cosco Busan and Tug Revolution data was processed, logged, time tagged and displayed using the \'93ShipPlotter from COAA\'94 software application (www.shipplotter.com). Each frame of the animation represents a small segment of the logged data with an annotation overlay based on recovered time tags.}
