A bit more than just a map - a bit of a dashboard, with some extra info.

Nothing seems to show up in the map portion. I have no blocking on the
site. What's the trick? Do you have to log in to use this?

No log in - should just work at that URL, and did for me just now when I
tested it.

I'm using Firefox on Linux, javascript is on, cookies are on, but I think
it works on Chrome/Chromium and Safari.

It does work on my iPhone with Safari. I'll have to check it out on
another computer so I can more easily use the features. Don't know why
it won't work on this box. <shrug>
Pretty cool place. Thanks!

Am using Chrome on a Win 10 box with maxed memory. I saw the screen
reload mid way through with more dots shown - I assume that was a
partial and later a full data load.

Looks like a great resource - looks like I live in what was one of the
safer places in the world (the Canadian west coast) which is notable
as my grandfather was a commercial fisherman in Vancouver and Prince
Rupert during the war. (He had applied for active service - as his
father had been a WW1 Ronal Navy ship commander - but failed his
medical presumably as he had lost 3 fingers in a fishing accident
during the 1930s) As a commercial fisherman he was quite welcome to go
on "producing food"....

I'd love to be able to show the sinkings by quarters through the war
to see how it changed. I'd wager a healthy amount that the majority of
shiops sunk off the US west coast were sunk between 12/41 - 06/42 when
the USN was learning their ASW "ropes".
