Two small tugboats. They share GPS numbers - must be practically on top of each other, or a record-keeping error. Rusty Pusher is obviously not a real name. Mr G might be Marisa D, 47 tons, built 1947 in Mississippi. That's all I've got.

The Basking Shark is second in size only to the Whale Shark, and much more likely to be spotted in our cool northern waters. Like the Whale Shark, the Basking Shark is a harmless plankton feeder. While the Whale Shark has a brown and cream checkerboard pattern on its back, the Basking Shark is more uniformly gray, making identification easy. It also differs in profile: while the Whale Shark has a broad square snout, the Basking Shark has a pointed conical snout, much like its cousin the Great White, for which it may be mistaken.
