Hit the FAQ button above. The last item in the FAQ talks about spotting your ship at sea. I've had no luck, however, spotting the Otello.
As for the newspaper. I don't have the link anymore, but if you go to
www.yahoo.com and type in southampton newspaper, you'll see a link for the Daily Echo. Left hand margin of that page has a shipping link.
Good luck getting aboard!
