There doesn't currently appear to be a place where you can get a free, live feed of AIS (ship tracking) data, but you folks in the US can make FOIA requests for a data dump from NAVCEN. I see that you're in India, so that might not be possible. Maybe your own government has something similar. To get an idea of what's in AIS data, there's marinetraffic.com -- Basically, it's where the vessel is, its heading, and some vital stats like its name, length, etc. The pictures are sourced from somewhere else.
And here's a guide to AIS data data: catb.org/gpsd/AIVDM.html Caveat: the sentences might start with some other letters like !SAVDM instead of just !AIVDM. The hd-sf.com link on this page for a free feed for the San Francisco bay area appears to no longer work.
I used to work with this type of data, so I'm happy to answer any questions about it. If you're more interested in airplanes, do a search for "ADS-B".
