I think that is what I said. For the one right behind it too. So big time creepy to me to see nothing but huge seas and then waves like that come along.
I thought about the early explorers too!!! Or imagine being a slave and chained to the wall on a slave ship... how many of those got lost in this weather!!!
@Daniel Brice you seam to know what your talking about and I don’t give enough of a fuck to look it up so I’ll take your word with a grain of salt. But it’s always cold in Greenland
1000+ years ago when the Vikings sailed the North Atlantic, the climate was much warmer than it is now and the sea conditions were better for making the crossings. I doubt even they were crazy enough to do it in open boats in winter.
Here’s one I filmed last month. Ask me anything you like. 😳Storm at Sea The Largest Waves on The Planet at Time of Filming. 🔴 ua-cam.com/video/1qxaWXBqgME/v-deo.html
It's always been a head-scratcher how something so long, carrying so much weight doesn't just snap in half (more often) in seas like this. Kudos to the engineers, the builders and the crews.
there is basically a massive very heavy extension of the boat underwater that is evenly weighted as to not let this happen and to not let the boat flip
@@mfvitt8000 You're talking about a keel. These are for sailboats for righting moment opposing the sail area, and to decrease leeward movement when sailing upwind. This has nothing to do with longitudinal stability or whatever you mean by "evenly weighted:". No offense, but what you say is non-sense.
@@wyskass861 I know what a keel is yes, I am a sailor, on boats like this there is still counterweight under the ship it isn't shaped like a keel but the result is the same. There is a huge amount of weight placed lower in the ship to not allow the ship to capsize. (and i was literally on the olympic developmental sailing team for the US so thanks for explaining what I already knew brother)
@@wyskass861 instead of a keel most ships of this size manage their weight through ballast tanks which can be filled when needed, there is also some ballast inherently built into the structure by making it heavier on the bottom. As im sure you must know from your mansplaining attitude, this in essence works the same as a keel.
The coast guard used to have what were called "ocean-station" cutters that would travel out to specific areas of the Pacific and just be there for four weeks in case an airliner had to ditch or a ship would be in trouble. They were there through thick and thin, good weather or bad. Tough duty.
If you don't know how a sailor can have a deep and abiding affection for an inanimate vessel, just ride with her through some seriously rough weather and you will begin to understand. You take care of her and she takes care of you. It's a beautiful love affair made in hell.
Well said.... I agree. If you really take care of the vessel, hopefully she takes care of you. What I would worry about are storms at night...when you can't always see these big rollers coming at you.
@Temporary Account ships are are welded by people they are to big for robots somethings you can’t do with robots I know I was a welder for 40 years. Look up ship yards and how they do it very interesting
I got my "sea legs" as a kid with a crazy uncle who had a cabin class fishing yacht. He, my father, their father (my grandfather) and me would go out into the Gulf Of Mexico 50+ miles for a two day, one night fishing trip. Often a storm would come out of nowhere that would make that 46' Hatteras, a ship to me as a kid, be tossed like a toy. Those waves were probably no more than 6-8 feet but I go so sick every time until one trip I no longer got sick. There's a reason I told that experience: I would be beyond seasick here as I no longer get seasick. Here, I'd be in fear for my life of the vessel breaking apart or just as bad, losing power and being tossed around like a toy sideways to the waves and eventually capsized. Note the captain here slowed down to a crawl just riding the waves out to minimize structural stress of flexing. Pilots do something similar during severe air turbulence and slow down to limit structural impact damage (or the worse, in flight break up which does happen).
I was out in rough seas in a 40 foot tug boat crossing over from Clare island to achill island in the west of Ireland. It was the scariest thing I have experienced. The middle of the bay being the worst. I was standing on the deck watching at least a 20 foot swell coming towards me.The boat would ride the wave and you could see land again then back down into the trough of water with another 20 foot swell coming at you .we had to go into the wheel house as we were getting soaked. Then it got worse I flew forward so violently I popped three buttons on my shirt.then thrown back again and I cracked a small pane of glass with my elbow. I said to one of the girls from Clare island who was with us holy god the sea is rough and she said ahh it’s not to bad. It’s an amazing experience when you feel merciless looking at the power of the ocean but it’s something I would only want to experience once. In other words NEVER AGAIN !
@@cassie2561 Preach. I'd rather go down in a plane crash than be on a sinking ship any day of the week. Even if I had an actual shot at survival in the ship, I... don't wanna.
The powerful force of nature is truly amazing and at times terrifying! Much appreciation and nerve of those men and women who are employed on the vessels. 👍🤟🤟👍.
I mean... 1:50 ...WOOOW...how big can they get? There is a famouse black and white picture showing a freakwave (must have been from the 60ies or something), that was definitely not bigger than what I've seen here!
Sounds like you father has felt the power of mother nature. My father was once a mariner long ago, he told me of this old vessel he was on that lost its power during a storm like this one. A wave had struck the vessel and blew out its cabin windows, that's how she lost power. That old boat was nothing but trouble, so many horrer stories aboard that one specific vessel. But nothing is more powerful than mother nature and her sea.
Wow. Just as a point of reference. How high is the "Pole" in the Front of the ship with the lights on? To have a little bit of an idea of the sizes you are confronting. For someone who only flies over the ocean most of the time.
Just another day at the office, Good ol navy days for me. Typhoon Rita late 70’s , and we lost power for 20 minutes getting slammed with 40 footers on port side. That had me a little worried , I think about it now probably should have been real worried…good thing we got the power and load back up when we did
this is my ship mt sarah in Durban area South africa .what was a memorable day! i will not forget ever.it was hericane very very rough sea . seamanship like that no way we have to move as usual.
I spent 11 years working at sea, this is mild weather compared to some storms you face & it's something you get use to very quickly or you leave the life even quicker.
Took a similar ride on the Altair when I was much younger. I enjoyed the trip, some others learned how much they could puke out before they had to put more in. Look up the Altair and imagine the swells we encountered that were big enough to douse us on the A-deck. Loved every day of that trip though, wish I was in good enough condition to do it again.
To be honest it actually does exceed the height , this might have been a three sisterss rogue wave where the first one is a very large wave and the second one is the monster followed yp by a large wave.@@swimminghuman8500
Blows my mind to think that those very same seas used to be navigated in comparatively tiny little wooden boats. Corks compared to the ships of today, on a rather regular basis.
As someone who fishes the north Atlantic 8 months out of the year scalloping, I love it. You haven't slept good until you've been rocked to sleep like a baby. The real salt life, not like that sticker shit.
If you've ever been out to sea in bad weather it is a lonely and scary feeling. I was in a small boat in 20 foot waves with some sets at 30 feet or ten meters. It is rather disturbing to see waves coming bigger than you are.
