Historical shipping example

[jbednar]

Peter Atwood has published a beautiful analysis of historical shipping logs that is quite comparable to what our current examples.holoviz.org/ship_traffic example shows for modern data. The data is available from
CLIWOC and some related data is available from WhalingHistory.

I think it would be straightforward to adapt ship_traffic to plot the CLIWOC data, colored by the ship's country rather than by the vessel category. The monochrome background used here goes well with the colored traces, suggesting that we should see if we could find a similar web map tile to use for these examples.

Not sure where this work goes in priority compared to our other examples work, but having this issue open should help us decide that priority!

Just to make it clear, do you mean changing ship traffic or adding a new example? If the latter, what value would it bring over ship traffic?

For me, right to the bottom of this #383 plus reviewing Demetris' CZI examples :)

This would not replace ship_traffic, just augment it. Assuming the data size is much smaller than the main one, this might work as a separate HTML page in the same example. I think it would help a different audience notice our tools and realize that they might be useful to them, with very little investment required.

Ok so you don't necessarily see this as a new example but more as an extension of the existing ship_traffic example.
