French? Greek? A secret third thing?

Hi all

I was just scrolling around on Marine traffic (as a nav arc does on one’s evening) when I spotted this . I can’t work out why the ais would read here for these ships . I assume it isn’t where they are actually (I could be wrong ofc) so why?

Are they spoofing their own AIS to pass without detection?

Thank you :)

On November 30th, 2011, the S.S. Spammals sustained hull damage during a sudden storm in the Pacific Ocean, although the exact cause remains unknown. The damage allowed seawater to flood into the ship, which led to the engines overheating and exploding violently. The fire engulfed the vessel, creating chaos onboard. There was no time to launch the lifeboats, and tragically, everyone on board perished except for one individual. A 14-year-old boy named John Phillips managed to jump off the burning ship just before it was consumed by flames. He swam to a nearby island about half a mile away, where he managed to climb up and seek shelter in an old, abandoned lighthouse that had fallen into disrepair. Once the storm subsided, John found a telephone and contacted the police, who rescued him and took him to an adoption center. The S.S. Spammals was eventually recovered and brought back to port, where it was dismantled and scrapped. This photograph captures the last remaining image of the S.S. Spammals.

SECRET SuperYacht TUNNEL | Live to Tell the Tale

Hidden inside M/Y Maverick is a engineering access tunnel that runs right through the center of the yacht, creating a direct pathway from the bow to the engine room. It gives access to many of the systems onboard including stabilizer fins and some of the yachts other critical systems. This hidden corridor allows fast inspections, repairs, and seamless operations without interrupting guest spaces.

We captured this hidden passageway live at the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2026, giving you a rare look at the systems and design features most people never get to see. It’s details like this that separate true world cruising yachts from the rest and why Cantierre dell Marche makes so of the finest yachts in the world!

Would you want a hidden engineering access tunnel on your yacht?
