I think 2182 khz (emergency, I think), 2198 khz (marine operator) are
two. There are several more in the 2 mhz region. There might be
more.

When I first started sailing, most of our ship to ship traffic was
conducted using AM - 2182, etc (g forget the other "channels" ).
Once VHF came into common use, although many kept the AM radios for
awhile, AM became SSB and something that generally was only used on
larger offshore boats.
Someone with a technical background can give a better description of
this and correct any acronym errors.
