I've been tracking ships going out of Southampton, UK to Baltimore, USA.
Almost all of the vessels depart Southampton, UK , head south in the English Channel, around the southern tip of the UK and then west across the Atlantic to Baltimore, USA
One vessel, the Florida Highway went from the port of Bremerhaven in to the North Sea, then southward through the English Channel to the port of Southampton, UK. Upon departing Southampton, UK it went back northward up the English Channel, into the North Sea, around the northern tip of the UK and Ireland and then into the North Atlantic. I have not seen her since.
No other ports were schedule between Southampton, UK and Baltimore, USA and none were listed on the route schedule.
Why would a Ro/Ro vessel take this circuitous route to Baltimore, USA out of Southampton, UK?
