I'm currently in Ocean City in a condo at 138th street (just south of delaware line) - about 15 degrees to my left (north) and just on the horizon is a large ship... one of the largest that I've ever seen on the ocean - it's hazy here and the thing is too far away to get a picture, but I wonder if it might be a warship of some sort - doesn't look like a tanker or container ship - has a funny shape to it and that's the best description I can give - even with binoculars I can't see it well.  I'm no good at judging distances so have no idea how far out it is... 5 miles would be a wild guess.
