摘要：	Do you like spying Great Lake ships, or "lakers," from the shore or tracking them on AIS? Do you keep track of what vessels visit any of the ports that line the shores of the five Great Lakes and the rivers that feed them? Do you enjoy trading boat stories and spreading boat rumors? Then you may be a "boatnerd," and if so, Boatnerd.com is the site for you. Boatnerd.com started as a class project in 1995 when founder Neil Schulthe-iss was a student at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich. The popularity of the site grew immensely over the years, with the organization eventually becoming a nonprofit (formally named Great Lakes and Seaway Shipping Online Inc.) that's now led by a board of directors and its current editor, Roger LeLievre. Funding comes in the form of direct donations and advertising on the website.
