1. A ship information displaying system, comprising:
a position detector configured to detect a position of a ship and generates positional data;
a direction detector configured to detect a heading of the ship and generates directional data;
a memory configured to store size data indicative of a flat dimension of the ship on the basis of a detected location of the positional data in the ship;
processing circuitry configured to:
place a ship object indicative of the ship at a position in a virtual three-dimensional space corresponding to the positional data, with an orientation corresponding to the directional data and a size corresponding to the size data; and
generate an image containing the ship object by rendering a scene based on a viewpoint position and a line-of-sight direction set in the virtual three-dimensional space; and

a display configured to display the image, wherein the displayed image includes the ship object having a contour of the ship corresponding to the size data.
