If you left click the ship, then left click the info link, you will get a page of info. (Saywhat?)

Look down the page to the "Last Path" entry. That will tell you how it got to aprs.fi

eg, in Melbourne Australia

Last Path: VHS2977>ais via VK2HIM, iv

Hi....i understand that ships in VK waters show up in aprs.fi
here in Townsville,Queensland there is a recieving station on Cape Cleveland and it recieves the AIS sigs from the ships....im not sure as to how aprs.fi gets the data

aprs.fi gets the AIS data via direct feeds from AIS receiving stations and also via other websites that participate in a kind of AIS sharing system. It has nothing to do with APRS or APRS-IS, except that you can see both on one website.
