here is a challenge for everyone affiliated with VG.
lets find maps for
a shark (as in the animal)
an aircraft carrier at sea
a palm tree shaped island in dubai (yes one exists, i just havnt been able to find it.)
the original remains of something from world war two (not restored, left as is)
a naval ship in the mediterranean
an aircraft off the coast of israel (pretty sure one exists)
Find as many as you can! ill try to look as well. the person who finds the most of these wins a pat on the back and a job well done, and their maps added as my favorites.
use any map site to find it, i dont care.
good luck folks!

Do abandoned RAF bases count? {8^)

alright, clarification,
Aircraft carrier at sea and naval ship in the mediterrenean, i mean like at least 2 miles out to sea. and shark must be a real thing
kfitz, your aircraft carrier is about 1500 ft from shore, and is being pushed out. sorry, but thats not quite out to sea yet. plus right behind it there is a coral reef, so thats still pretty close in.
keep looking guys.
and just to make it bigger, lets update it to with 5 world war II remains, must be pretty far apart,
like you cant use a control tower and a wrecked hanger from the same airbase.

Sigh, sorry.
OK, there are sharks here but I can't make them out. This is a small pool in Disney World's Typhoon Lagoon where you can go swimming with real sharks.
I fear that most sharks are going to be too small to make out in LL/GM/GE or YM.

what youve got to do is look in shallow, clear, blue water. a shark should be very dark against that. look around islands and in flordia..

alright! DDA has found some sharks, they seem too close in to shore to be whales.
however, since he found the other two on Virtual Globetrotting, then they do not count, they have to be brand new remember!

Hmmm... If you look a little on south, you can see a lot of little fishing boats.
Now, I think I've posted boats and not sharks.
