An America's Cup race appears on July 9, 2013, against a backdrop of ferry traffic (blue), container ships (red), and tankers (green).
Global shipping is fundamental to San Francisco Bay Area commerce. The ports of Oakland and Richmond turn around multiple massive container and tanker ships daily, providing and supplying raw materials and manufactured goods to the region and the world.
Understanding the travels of these ships, as well as the daily paths of smaller ships like ferries and tug boats, helps us to better understand our place on the world stage. And it makes for some beautiful visualization.
