Your camera roll may already hold the photo that helps another boater put a face to a name.</p>
<p dir="auto">With community AIS vessel photos, every photo you contribute helps other boaters recognize the vessels they see and makes Saillogger’s maps more useful and personal.</p>
<p dir="auto">Here is what is new:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Add a photo while exploring the map</strong><br />
See a boat on AIS? Add a photo! Whether it is a local favorite, a memorable passagemaker, or simply a great vessel you spotted, your photo can become part of its story.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Help build a better view</strong><br />
Each AIS vessel can have multiple photos, so different angles, locations, and moments all help tell more of its story.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Your photo, your copyright</strong><br />
You keep the copyright to every photo you submit. We will show your name whenever your photo appears (you may choose to opt out if you want to stay private).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Earn the Ship Spotter badge</strong><br />
Have photos published for 10 different AIS vessels to unlock the Ship Spotter badge.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Keep track of your contributions</strong><br />
Open <a href="https://saillogger.com/ais/my/photos/" rel="nofollow ugc">Vessel photos</a> to see everything you have contributed in one place.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Ready to go? Start with your friends, open <a href="https://saillogger.com/friends/" rel="nofollow ugc">the Friends map</a> and add your first vessel photo!</p>
<p dir="auto">Have a favorite vessel spotting story, a photo you are proud of, or an idea for the galleries? Reply here and share it with the community, we would love to hear from you!.</p>
<p dir="auto">Smooth boating and happy Saillogging,<br />
