Is that really possible in this day and age? I feel like there has to be some corner of the internet where some internet sleuths have figured it out.
EDIT: Skimming various Swedish articles, which mention “north of Gotland”, between Sweden and Estonia, and on international waters, so probably somewhere east of Gotska Sandön.
- dopamean 7y agoPerhaps the people able to figure it out arent the same as the ones who would pilfer what's there.
- Luc 7y agoNot that I'll be doing this, but... The blurred areas on the ROV video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p8TH1tDvzk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p8TH1tDvzk ) probably contain location data, among other things. Considering that we have a nice, nearly black background, and access to the font used, it should be a piece of cake to figure out the censored data. Just blur numbers 0-9 and determine which fit best with the video. See e.g. http://dheera.net/projects/blur http://dheera.net/projects/blur

- bequanna 7y agoI had no idea marinetraffic.com was a thing. Fascinating, thanks!
