This is one of the most violent looking Seas I've seen, knowing full well that the camera never fully captures the turbulence and true size of the waves, in other words if you were on that ship in that storm it would be much worse than what you're seeing on camera
i just love watching these videos...something about all that mass slowly plowing through these huge powerful mountain waves! The power of the ship all the sounds of the boat creaking, flexing with the alarms going off in the wheelhouse as the captain tries not to spill his coffee- lol so cool
i know what you mean. I guess it is similar to the fascination of space ships/space travel. The complete (or incomplete xD) trust in the machine in a rough environment.
You wouldn’t think it was nearly so cool if you were on that ship praying she held together. Once you go thru a storm where your boat or ship holds together when you are wondering whether she will/can (that is, whether you may die) hold together, creaking/groaning taking tons of water and waves smashing against and onto her you may start to understand the love a sailor feels for the ship that is able to do that and bring him home.
Pure Awesome. Starting to think that we identify with the ship in these videos, hence their calming and therapeutic effects. If that ship can regularly survive that, we can survive pretty much anything life throws at us.
Images like this makes me realize just how small and insignificant we truly are. We are but mere specs of sand in the wild waters we call oceans. TFS. Stay safe. 🙏
We were up near the Bering Sea in 82 when we took on some massive waves the ship was bought to emergency station and we were all in our life jackets🙈 we lost containers over board the funnel was smashed and the ships mast bent. The most frightening sight I’ve ever seen in my 44 years at sea
This video brings back memory of a trip in the South China Sea back in the early 70s. I was the sparkie on a bulk carrier taking a full load of iron ore from India to Japan. The rolling and pitching were pretty scary but I trusted my captain (Captain Shorthouse) so I could still sleep during the night.
I'm curious, what do the off-shift crew members do when seas are this high? I wish some of these videos/channels would include other areas of the ship, it's occupants and operations during storms. Also, kudos to the captain and mates on the bridge!
Heard the List/Roll warning @ or around 1:13. It'll keep you "awake" at the helm. I've been in 30 ft. Seas on the Great Lakes. Do the "tighten-up", mates and roll with it. My father told me about a Winter storm he weathered, on the North Atlantic. A Nor'easter blew-up out of NOWHERE, with 80-foot Seas, crest-to-trough (Breakers, not Rollers). They rode the trough "OUT OF THERE", any direction but DOWN (to Davey Jones' locker), justifiably fearful of cracking the Ship's Spine. "What did you do, Daddy?" "Only thing you can do: Pucker-up and Pray that you don't ship water on the roll. When the Sea takes you, Son, She doesn't ask your leave." Words to live by on the BOUNDING MAIN. Aptly named and represented in this video. 🤪
That’s probably what the waves looked like on Lake Superior, when the Edmund Fitzgerald got hit by a huge rogue wave and split the ship in half, killing the crew. I’ve always wondered what the fuel consumption is during a storm, compared to calm seas ? 🙏
I've always subscribed to the theory that the Edmund Fitzgerald took a nose dive into a trough as a large following wave raised up her stern. Of course there are other theories, but not many that would have come upon the ship so suddenly and so violently that the crew didn't even have time to yell "mayday" once into the radio. It's also weird to think that her bow could have hit the bottom, with almost 200 feet of her stern still sticking up above the waterline. Wild and scary stuff; RIP to her crew.
@@magicalgibus3006 yeah I figured that when Petit said it wasn’t a tanker. I don’t know what they call thin things other than a ship LOL. I just went by the title thinking they knew what it was called. Thank you though ❤️
I’m watching this thinking about the varying pressure along the keel and plates, the compression and tension forces, you can only hope that it is over engineered.
A friend of mine was in a storm like that for 3 days crossing the Pacific in a 60ft yacht, he said it was the worst time of his life and the night time was by far the worst....thats not for me.
@@EugVR6 have they voyaged to Australia or to somewhere else? You said your friend lives there now. What is his native place though. Sounding lame I'm but your comment provoked me to do so.

I remember going through a storm like this when I was in the navy. I was on a fast frigate, FF-G25 and the storm was as fierce as the video shows. Everybody was puking in the heads. Even the old salty chiefs were puking! It was a horrible experience!
@@crocodile1313 Yeah CrocDoc1, That storm was so bad that sometimes the bow would dive so low between the waves, the ships screw would partially come out of the water and slap the waves and vibrate the ENTIRE ship. I was an interior communications electrician 2'nd class and my duty station was right under the foc'sle and everything had to be tied down. The ships gyroscopes were in there so we had to give them added protection. We took some horrible role's and sometimes I really thought we were going to role over and capsize! I thought carriers were immune to these kind of weather conditions but I guess I am wrong LOL!
@@flashesofblack4128 I was on the USS Carl Vinson in the Pacific that time and some of the waves even crashed up on the flight deck. Here I was, supposed to be a hard, tough Marine and I was in my rack in the friggin fetal position with an improvised barf bag!
@@crocodile1313 That's exactly what I had to do. I was a interior communications electrician 2nd class. One of my jobs was to maintain one of our ships plotting computer. I became so sick that I had to ask my chief if I could go to my rack before I barfed in the system. As long as I didn't move I was OK. There was another problem. A Frigate is not a big ship. Sometimes when the bow hit a wave so hard it would almost submerge. When that happened the stern would momentarily come out of the water exposing the screw which would slap the water vibrating the entire ship. It was very scary, sometimes we took such roles I thought we were going to capsize!
@@richardboughton8338 my dad joined the Navy after Pearl Harbor and said thats one decision he should've thought through more. Lol From what he said the Sea of Japan is no joke. Glad you both made it though and lived to tell about it.
@@richardboughton8338 he was so excited to get to Japan and kick some butt but they were stopped before they got there because the government decided to use the bomb. So they retreated to a safe distance but had to stay there for days on end not knowing what to expect from the bomb and not knowing if Japan would retaliate. Said it was the longest 4 days ever and the worst that happened was a bad storm. Said he had never had any sea sickness until then and was the sickest he's ever been. Said the only good thing was he wasn't the only one. Half the guys on the ship were just as sick. Then the skies cleared and they were told to return home just to be told once home they had to stay out in the ocean but near the coast just in case. Just in case never happened. So, actually he never saw much action at all except for seeing the aftermath at Pearl Harbor that he said was the most horrific scenes he'd ever seen. But he was an optimistic man always and knew God had spared them because he was meant for bigger things.
@@seanworkman431 Wow, that's crazy. What kind of sailboat were you in? My biggest worry would be capsizing. I'm currently learning how to sail. I don't know why I watch these videos of ships in storms lol - the ocean terrifies me but calls to me at the same time.
@@katherines6322 I have sailed many boats, average 40', and the worst you can do is not take precautions, don't wait until you're knocked down before putting in a reef and always have a sea anchor. I did the 1997 Sydney to Hobart and Bass Straight was like a mill pond. The next year a storm came through and many boats and lives were lost because they kept racing. There was nothing in the rules that said they were not allowed to shelter. If that was a force 12 the sea would have been white with foam.
@@seanworkman431 Damn that is a crazy story. I am so fascinated but terrified of rough seas. I only sail near Seattle in the Puget Sound so it doesn't get too rough here. Although there are some narrow channels around here I haven't been to yet, that have crazy tidal bores that make HUGE whirlpools big enough to suck a small boat down if you go through it at the wrong time. So cool, but so scary haha. My boyfriend got his sailboat last year - some guy was selling it for a dollar because he had to move to a different state. Just a random guy on the dock. It's a thunderbird 26'. Small but a great racing boat. So we've spent a lot of the last year fixing it up, painting the interior, and of course I've been learning sailing basics. Took some classes, bought lots of books. Definitely need more classes. It's so much fun though, I never realized how much better cruising through the water is when you don't have any loud engine noise. So much easier to appreciate the surroundings. I was surprised by how much wildlife we see all the time. I do have this one recurring intrusive thought, that pops up while we're sailing, even on a calm sunny day, that if we somehow tripped and fell off, the boat just...keeps going... Is there any way to get over that fear? Lmao. I just keep a GPS attached to me at all times, makes me feel better.
This is scary enough in a large ship. Try it in a US Navy destroyer escort and it becomes truly terrifying! One of many reasons I left the navy and joined the army to jump out of perfectly good airplanes...
@@apexkilla, True story and I have the DD 214’s to prove it. You obviously don’t know me, so what part of my statement do you think is fake? Or are you just a UA-cam 😈troll trying to start a problem?
I sailed aboard an old geared cargo vessel similar to this, MV Green Wave. We were in a very bad storm similar to this, Oct-Nov 2002 in the North Sea headed to Germany.
When I was at sea we did our utmost to avoid getting in situations like that. We took every weather forecast and weather map possible, so we knew the actual and predicted position of any typhoon in our area, and the Master and 2nd Mate decided on the best course and speed to avoid seas like those in the video.
@@Dawgreen Utter RUBBISH. Upon what vast nautical experience do you make such a foolish statement?? No-one is going to thank you for causing structural damage to your ship, causing enormous insurance claims for damaged cargo, and more importantly, endangering the lives of those on board with a possibility of loss of life. Think over the phrase "prudent seamanship". THAT is one of the reasons I survived 43 years at sea, in all weathers. THINK before you speak!
@@neilharrison7555 You try to avoid it . But as you can see by the vast multitudes of girls in seas higher than this. It happens frequently. Also I base that on 40+ years of sailing the Southern Ocean from Fremantle to Antarctica. Sometimes. . . . There ain't no other port in a storm . . . Like I said. Full Ahead . . . With icebergs . Ain't noone going to thank YOU when the penguins don't get their resupply after a long winter . There ain't no insurance in the Navy son . Go back to your shipping containers from China.
These are really dangerous conditions for bulk carriers, cargo shifting can sink these ships to the bottom in minutes. I don't know how or why master allowed his ship to be caught in situation like this.
Amazing. You really earn your money in times like that. Thanks so much for posting this. I hope you were all safe. :-) Was your vessel about 50,000 dwt? What was your cargo?
"The waves handled the huge ship like a toy! " Please, get a life, the opposite is true. The skipper is sailing into the waves at 45 degrees. This gives a longer effective wave length and reduces stresses from wave impact. The boat has just enough way on to keep a helm. (Keep steering). That low speed will not create the extra stresses that a cruising speed would create on the vessel. A plaudit for the skilled skipper who handled the tornado and his vessel very well indeed.
And I was moaning about my ergonomic office chair arm rest settings this afternoon, puts it in perspective! Once persons discomfort is another’s bliss.
Wauv.. when such a big ship gets tossed around and the tilt alert comes on, then it's really rough seas.. Hopefully no one had to go out and survey the hatch cover locks

Indeed! The Spaniards (and others)sailing across the Atlantic, Cape Horn, and far into the Pacific, beyond me how they accomplished so much!
Great footage
"The waves handled the huge ship like a toy! " Please, get a life, the opposite is true. The skipper is sailing into the waves at 45 degrees. This gives a longer effective wave length and reduces stresses from wave impact.
The boat has just enough way on to keep a helm. (Keep steering). That low speed will not create the extra stresses that a cruising speed would create on the vessel.
A plaudit for the skilled skipper who handled the tornado and his vessel very well indeed.
Vaaav dalgalar muhtesem 😍
I don’t like choppy water. I always remove the plug AFTER I get out of the bath.
This, on the other hand is a nightmare!
Oh my god
When your glad to be on land !!!!!
I think that the cook had a quiet day that day
No soup on the menu today.
Lol I don't know why I thought about that also

And me, ... I’m dying to get on it in the storm! That’s pretty amazing!!
I have heard that you can book a cabin on some freight ships for vacation. No luxury, but pure experience.
Mamma mia!
Niiiiice
night watch is spooky, you cant see them but every now and then you feel the freak ones and hope the engine keeps running
Few guys re talking abt something on bridge as Turkish language abt crane cable situation.I thing they are midd of the Biscay bay
AS LONG AS IT IS SEAWORTHY, EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. THIS VIDEO IS ONLY A PART OF A SEAFARER'S EXPERIENCE OF WHICH EVERY SEAFARER SHOULD HAVE.
I have seen waves come over aircraft carrier in the N. Atlantic.
Carrier didn't role very much, but you could feel the swells
Being in that storm wouldn't have bothered me, because I'd be so sick I'd want to die anyway.
And I was moaning about my ergonomic office chair arm rest settings this afternoon, puts it in perspective! Once persons discomfort is another’s bliss.
Damn reminds me never to go out on the north china sea with out a big boat!
Angry Sea , reminds me 1974 around the bottom off AUSTRALIA!
Amazon be like "next day delivery"

STERN SEA SPEED INCREASED ROLLING NOT MUCH ROUGH SEA CARGO VESSEL GOOD VIDEO
''At 7 pm a main hatchway caved in...''
Is there a rule as to which way to point a big ship into waves, head on? From the side? I have always wondered this.
Wauv.. when such a big ship gets tossed around and the tilt alert comes on, then it's really rough seas..
Hopefully no one had to go out and survey the hatch cover locks
Someone on this ship was sleeping after a long shift too during this. That’s the real trip to think about
the waves are huge.safety first
It's a bulk carrier and not a tanker as mentioned in the description.
You beat me to it !
Thanks, has been fixed! 👍
Now I know why I joined the Army instead of the Navy!
My daddy did join the Navy and said that's one time he should've thought it through a little more!! Lol
