Watching ships that pass through the Uraga Channel, at Kannonzaki Park, Yokosuka, Japan

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

In the United States, for example, ship watching is practised 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 (Chinese: 江滩公园) in Hankou and in Wuchang, in the city of Wuhan, are good places to enjoy ship watching.[4]
