I use ShipsAIS locally but find MarineTraffic has
more complete coverage for the rest of the Irish
sea. Draken Harald H is staying at Rathlin Island
Northern Ireland overnight and is showing Liverpool
as destination.

Draken will be approaching the mouth of the Mersey around 9.00 on Thursday morning, passing New Brighton, Seacombe and Woodside, crossing to the cruise terminal then entering Alfred Lock by 11.00, finally into West Float. I am gutted - really wanted to see her rowed into West Float, but I am stuck with an arrangement I can't break on Thursday morning. Might get down to see her pass New Brighton though.
*sigh*
Still, who could have predicted the loss of the mast and all the associated changes to the schedule?!

Seems at the moment it's in the IOM, AIS is showing it here, AIS also says it's bound for Liverpool.

She has moved out of Peel Marina and
is moored at Peel breakwater currently
so is ready to depart for Liverpool.
I understand that the Liverpool Pilot is booked
for 07:30 - putting her in the Mersey around 09:00
as expected.
I would suggest Fort Perch Rock area as being
the best place to first view or along Egremont
or Seacombe Promenade late.

No idea but the AIS has it about 25 kms in the Irish sea level with Castletown I.O.M going at a speed of 10.4 knots as the I.O.M is about 100 miles away then my head hurts :-) , usually when we get shipping in that is for public view most like to come in at their announced time and they anchor up for a while,but this being an open boat etc, still Wiki says 9.00 am and I will go down by the fort to watch, you never know some of the people on board could have unknown relly's on the Wirral and it would be a no no not welcoming them properly to Wirral,
