Ship hit by rogue wave in the Bay of Biscay!

- Rogue wave encountered in the Bay of Biscay on oil/chemical tanker Pink Coral in mid February 2014. Ship was sailing on its way to Rotterdam when this huge irregular wave came across our way from our beam.
L.E.: Just for clarification, the first 30 seconds contain the rogue wave, the rest is just random footage.
I just added english subtitles to the video if you were aching to know what we were speaking.
Check out my channel for more videos with ships! @CrazySailor
For those of you saying that it is not a rogue wave, a rogue wave just has to be twice the significant wave height, so it can still be small and be a rogue wave if the normal wave height is very low.
That is the classification of a rogue wave. If you people are looking for those that are over 20 meters high, these people would probably be trying to patch a hole in the hull rather than film.
Well it was still insignificant and anticlimactic
in relation to that ship, it seems pretty big.
Still doesn't make this video impressive. I want my 2 mins and 24 seconds of my life back!
@@The_Slippery_Slope_NZ ill send you your minutes back but they take 3 working days to get there and they deteriorate within seconds.
This is without a doubt the best example of a rogue wave I have ever seen, it's perfect to it's definition. Appearing out of nowhere being at least 3-4 times bigger than the rest of the waves around it and almost breaking. It's great because you can compare its size with the rest of the waves shown in the rest of the video, so you can more or less meisure its size, which must be around 10-12 meters while the others are around 2-3 meters at most.
Not!
That wasn't a rogue wave, not even close
@@bradmagnuson6963 by definition, it was
@@nalabees by definition, it was NOT. It barely washed over the starboard side, and wasn't anywhere close to the bridge, and wasn't anywhere close to being a rogue wave
Brad Magnuson A rogue wave is just a wave twice the average wave height sorrounding an object. The size magnitude is irelevant, the ratio is important
At 0:06 you can see that the tip of the wave is level with the wing of the tanker. Seeing a photo of the tanker at anchor reveals just how massive that wave was. It was 6-7 decks high. Plus a wave sideswiping a tanker is pretty dangerous itself.
Rolled the tanker over like 35 degrees it looked like by that shot forward when they were going up the leading edge of the wave. That's a pretty serious wave. They handled it really well though.
@@mycroft16 oh, please, it barely washed over the starboard side of the vessel

@@bradmagnuson6963 Yeah because it rocked that shit 35 degrees can you even read
Try lift and tilt an oil tanker, this is a big wave. And out of nothing in an otherwise seemingly calm sea.
Indeed one of the most clear vids of a rogue wave.
Yea it's pretty hard to lift an oil tanker. Even my dad couldn't do it
@@NorDank if this was Facebook you would have hundreds of haha reacts
@@NorDank your dad wasn't trying though, he could do it
First legit and clearest video of a rogue wave I've ever seen! Beautiful footage!
Thanks!
Definitely, seas are NO WHERE near the hieght of that wave. Great that he added in the other footage so we had good comparative material. The sea state was good and out of nowhere comes that bad boy! It had to be 10 times the height of the current conditions.
This should get scientific attention. I don't think there ever has been a so clear video of a rogue wave.
Discovery Channel filmed one that was extremely clearly a rogue wave, not just due to size, but also because the wave was traveling 90 degrees away from the direction of other waves.
@ deadliest catch.
@ what's the video called

A lot of people watching this video have no context for how big this event actually is. I used to play on a harbor cruise ship that would pass by the ports as part of its route. Take however “big” you picture these container ships to be and multiply that by ten. They’re so enormous, it actually takes a considerable amount of time to pass them as you go by in a regular boat. People stand back, in awe, and say things like “oh my god...” as they tilt their heads up at this thing that’s blocking out the sunset from several hundred yards away. Now understand that this fucking wave just took one of those ships and temporarily threw it into disarray. That wave would’ve DEMOLISHED the 150 foot boat I used to play on. Like....people would’ve gotten hurt for sure. On top of that, this wave came out of nowhere, towering above everything else. This is definitely, definitely a rogue wave. Picture one of those in stormy seas with 40 foot swells....it would kill people and destroy ships. No doubt about it.
Also, there's the added effect where filming from a high vantage point causes waves to look much smaller than they actually are. At the beginning of the video you can see that the wave is roughly level with the bridge wing. That's absurdly high.
I was off the coast of Florida one day, I have no clue how far I was at the time but I saw one of those ships. I couldn't believe how big it was, comparing it to standing next to a skyscraper doesn't even do it justice. One of the craziest things I ever seen
Good Explanation. The rouge wave doesn't look as big as others shown, say on Deadliest Catch...UNTIL you realize that 3, probably 4 of the largest crab boats could line up bow to stern along side of the area shown on camera, of this ship's deck.
Thanks for posting this! I'm sorry some people who view a 2-1/2 minute clip on the internet somehow think they know more about a situation than the one who was standing in the middle of it. Stay safe out there, and keep posting great videos about your travels!
Thanks, man, appreciate your words!
Yep!
Hope this Kat still active . see more CONTENT like this. Happy SAILINGS let Us Know How You are doing . 2:08
And they are at the top of the ship, imagine if they are at the lower deck level and look at this... man... what a sight.
The lowest deck is called the upper deck. And yeah, even smaller waves are scary, I don't wanna know how this looked from down there 😱
@@CrazySailor How tall is the ship?
@@LiloVLOG The camera is roughly 17-18 m above sea level. The ship together with it's mast is about 24-28m above water depending on it's draught.

Essa é uma rogue wave com certeza. Porém, não é das maiores, nem das mais inclinadas, nem possuía rogue holes na adjacência.
That was completely scary 😱😱 I thought the same
I sailed the Bay of Biscay through a storm, on a school ship in the 70's. The bay is notorious for rough seas and violent storms. Great footage. Thank you, brings back some pretty scary but fond memories.
I just sailed that area a couple more times. I can assure you it stands up to it's reputation. :D
Forget the definition, it was bigger then the rest and came in on a different angle the the rest. That is not a good combo. Nice footage thank you for posting. The crew was impressed.
Thanks for the support!
A wave that big in otherwise calm water. Scary.

This threw around a tanker
Imagine what it did to those tiny wooden sail boats during the pirate eras
Textbook rogue wave to be sure! However, the fellow filming it may not have been prepared for or he may not have appreciated the value of filming of that wave. Most freak waves are not caught on film at all!
Thomas Hill It really caught us by surprise, we wanted to make a time lapse and exactly at that moment when we went outside we saw the wave.
Wow!
At first didn't think it was that big, then noticed what type of ship they were on. Its not a monster rogue wave, but compared to the rest of the ocean, its big.
Definitely NOT sending this to my sister and her husband currently on their sail boat cruising the Bay of Biscay
So how’d that go for you?
First viewing... yeah ok. Second time, realising it goes higher than the bridge of the ship... damn.
John Hogan yup, many comment here that it's a small wave, but they haven't been there to see that live. They'd crap their pants, damn keyboard warriors 😂 btw, it's about 25 meters from water level to bridge wings.
Its perspective. I didn't realize how large that wave was until I saw this comment. Rewatched, and yeah. Holy shit
Some of these comments are ridiculous - this is obviously a rogue wave - and an excellent video of one too - I've never seen one so clearly before - this really deserves more views
the scariest things are nor the waves but the bay of biscay is part of the 4700 to 5000 meter deep atlantic sea bed
Why does that make it scarier? Whether it's 50m deep or 5000m deep you will still drown if you go under
@@charliejoeralph62 Exactly it's not like being 50m deep is too comfortable. Even with standard diving equipment 50m is too deep already.
@@pocnit at 4800m the wreck is extremly difficult to recover at 50 meters or 100 salvage is possible for clean up of the sea bed while just recently mv grande america a car carrier toor fire and sunk there and there was no clean up of the sea bed and millions of cargo and brand new cars are abandoned there
That does indeed live up to the present defined criteria to be a real rogue wave. It was clearly over 2 times the average wave height, nearly breaking at the top. Following footage does not show any waves even close to it. Great and scary footage...
The scariest thing is that you never see it until you hit the first small wave... then the big one. It’s also scary how clear this video is. Good job, dude!
People complaining this isn't a rouge wave because these sailors sailed away with a single pieced ship. That occurrence could have been much worse. The haters just want to see catastrophic damage.
DUDE the wave had waves!
It had waves on its waves
Super wavy, man!
Rogue waves are the leading cause of shipwrecks in all of naval history.
They are not designed for the amount of point pressure they can cause (in head-on collisions) and with side collisions they can destroy windows and ruin electronics, causing the ship to be uncontrollable and ultimately sink. This includes modern ships.
For a wave to be considered "rogue" it has to be at least 2 times higher than the surrounding waves. This means it can vary in size dramatically depending on weather conditions. They also happen at random in the middle of the ocean and can last a few seconds to up to 6 miles depending on the type
"Hold me, Pierre"
I would hold Pierre if I saw that big wave a comin'. But that's just me
The might actually be the ONE and ONLY LEGIT rogue wave video on all of YT.
When I see romanians I hit the like button.
It definitely fits the definition of a rogue wave as compared to the seas around it. To appreciate just how big it was, step thru the video frame by frame until you see the ship is level and the wave on the starboard side almost touches the horizon as viewed by the camera.
It is still impossible to comprehend the size and force that wave has
How many time you guys got hit by Rogue Waves?
This is the only rogue wave I've encountered on my watch in about 6 years of sailing. I don't know if there were others when I was down below the bridge deck.
@@CrazySailor Very cool! Thanks!
The ocean deals me to out
people still thought they where myths till pretty recent when we start deep offshore drilling and the platforms would get hammered once in awhile by massive rogue waves giving proof
I``ve never been in a volcano but I know what one looks like.
Thanks for sharing the view sir, very much appreciatted and enjoyed !
There was something about his bravery through that was almost spiritual. If you are out at sea like that you must believe in a higher power. How could you not looking at that view? Was majestic and horrifying all rolled into one.
wow! Rolling a 100 plus 1000mt ship almost on its side like that is MASSIVE. That is a beast!
Mathew Peter the biggest ship ever was 450m most oil tankers like this are around 300 also that wave was more like 20 m or 70 ft if you compare to height of tanker
whaaaaa its tiny
No ship ever was 1000 million tons, the largest ever was 0,45 million tons or 450 000 tons
Finally!! This was a real rough wave.
Props to the camera man for getting there and filming it. Never seen such a clear-cut and high-quality video of a rogue wave
I like how, even while he's filming, he grabs his mate's wrist as the vessel rolls down! Amazing video!!!
Not the biggest wave I've seen on the internet, but probably the clearest "rogue wave." The scientific definition of a rogue wave just states that it has to be twice the average wave height, which this once certainly is (since the other waves are pretty small). Unfortunately most of the other videos that claim to show rogue waves are just clips of heavy seas where all the waves are massive. Glad your ship didn't flip over when you got broadsided out of nowhere!
This wave was so rogue it refused to conform to other rogue waves and stayed small. A maverick
Wow, nu ma asteptam sa gasesc filmarea mult căutată la un român 😂
Bravo! Ai un nou abonat
I was a Corpsman on a US Navy Guided Missile Destroyer in the Atlantic, 1973 when my Ship was hit by a Rogue Wave that listed us to Port Side 38 degrees!!
Caution: You have disavowed the sea and have been marked as ROGUE
dean mckellar The Division no longer acknowledges you as one of their members.
Worth it!
Consider how far above the water they are and it STILL looks like a huge wave. Cool video!
just amazing how big these ships are when you compare them to massive waves. the waves look small and barely choppy enough to move the ship at all
My son was assigned to a Destroyer. He would tell me the wild storm they would encounter and how the ship would handle the monster waves crashing over the bow. The following day, the ocean was calm and almost looked like they were in a huge pond.
The undeniable, indisputable, and incomparable power of the ocean. Power that can so easily take a huge, powerful ship to it's depths in a moment without leaving a trace. 🤤
Never go on deck in a bad weather
Getting see sick just watching xD Greetings from Germany!
Greetings back from Romania!
My best friend, Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video. Have a happy day.
0:17 Keeping the homies safe
Noticed that too, true bro moment.
I like how the sun rays on that ship. Makes the footage cooler
How high above the waterline are you on that walkway? At about 0:07 in the vid, it seems there is a moment when the rails pass through horizontal (following their vanishing point until it meets the distant horizon, and yeah, I'm geeky enough to actually look at that with a straightedge B-) ), and at that moment the rails also align roughly with the wave crest. That tells me that the minimum height of that wave, from trough to crest, is very roughly approximated by your own height above the waterline. I can't tell, but that looks like a long way down to the water. What do you think of this approximation? Do you have a more "official" estimate of the wave height? (I think my geometry is sound, but obviously it's difficult to be precise from this video.) I know that videos of real rogues are very rare. Has this been analyzed by researchers?
Also, it seems the deep trough following the rogue set the next wave up to hit your ship with greater impact than the rogue itself. The rogue seems to have mostly lifted your ship and rolled it left & right, while the next wave appears to really slam the ship with some force while it's rolled to the right, about the time when that guy grabs your arm. (Two sisters instead of 3?)
I cannot imagine the engineering that goes into making these humongous vessels so strong and so stable. Thanks for posting.
A video of a true rogue wave, with fellow romanians on board!
No wonder overloaded container ships lose cargo sometimes, if that hits you then it's bad news
Just a friendly reminder from Mother Nature not to get complacent on the ocean. LOL. Awesome footage! Thanks.
At this point I'd like to thank UA-cam for the posting the ad right as the wave hit the ship.
use adblock its free....
Love how the modern bridge looks like a livingroom with a few consoles in the middle.
That has to be at least 80 to 100 ft!!!
So high??
@@AmerIndianWarrior Up to the bridge of an oil tanker? Yeah that high, oil tankers aren't small.
Lord there are still folks arguing about this. Look at how large that tanker is, how high the life boats are on the side, and consider that the top of that swell was *level* with the wings as the ship started to roll into it. Someone buy camera dude a beer for telling other guy to hold the hell on! Edit, here's the ship from down on the docks: photos.marinetraffic.com/ais/showphoto.aspx?photoid=397490
cine e roman ? :D
This remains, as far as I can tell, the only unambiguous rogue wave ever caught clearly on video. A+ job!
That was a real rogue wave
Really cool stuff, that wave must've been probably five stories high
Wow! Incredible (and frightening). No wonder sailboaters fear rogue waves. I’ve always had so much respect for the ocean and it’s power.
Excellent example. The one in Deadliest Catch was a very frightening one too.
Wave at appx 00:11
GeorgeJansen 🤘🏼
This rogue wave.is not very tall but makes up with power ... Lots of power
That’s so cool they experienced first hand a freak of nature that almost nothing is known about
So the rogue wave may capsize the ship, but the "hole" that comes after is the part that can break a ship apart, yeah? The more times I watch the scarier this gets. How many waves like this have you guys seen?
It's the only wave of this type that I've seen in my 34 months of sea time.
@@CrazySailor Spooky. No doubt some in the scientific and engineering community have gotten something out of this video. Glad it wasn't worse.
Fuck was a big wave, do you work on this ship?
+roflcopterkklol Yes, I was the guy in red.

Thats a neato job you have yourself there man
When I think of rogue waves, the first thing that comes to mind is the fictional ocean liner Poseidon, which gets broadsided by a rogue wave and flipped completely upside down.
Romanian sailors. They're everywhere hahaha! :D
Note to other posters: That is NOT calm water - the swell was 1-2 metres.
Yeah but compared to that wave its calm!
Hang on ... who was driving the ship when you guys were outside ?
BadtemperedandGrumpy we have autopilot all the time keeping our course on a maximum 1 degree error.
Thats alright then ... thank you for the info ... great footage ... stay safe (and afloat ) ....
Thank you also for the support!
The Sun's just smiling in the background. He created that wave. (Increasing solar wind speeds slam the earth, the sea floor bounces back and the resulting quakes & volcanism increase rogue waves).
Cool idea for a channel! Maybe don't pin comments where people call your viewers "dumb" as your favorites... 😅 Perhaps a quiet "thumbs up" on those comments is more diplomatic... 🤔
The guys down in the engineering spaces must have soiled their skivvies when that thing hit.
I didn't see it???
Bigwavemaster1 Did you have your eyes closed?

Amazing that the ships hold up under what must be ferocious torsional, or twisting forces.
Thanks for sharing.
That's a regular Ocean wave... not a 'rogue wave'
nope...
No that was a big wave.
A thousandst time : Go look things up BEFORE opening your mouth
Amazing footage!! Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.
the waves in my bath tub are bigger
thought provoking... read about the disappearance of the 'waratah' passenger ship then speculatively apply the sea conditions and situation here above...thanks for this reality vid
I miss dunking the front gun turrets under every other wave. 19 years old and I didn't have the seasickness gene, what a blast.
I suckled on a rogue wave throughout my infancy. I know rogue waves. This was a rogue wave.
Poseidon: "I do a little trolling."
People complaining still think rogue waves are like out Poseidon... where 200 feet waves appear from nowhere on a calm sea lol
If only my grandpa had a phone to capture these events.
Honestly you cant deny a wave being beautiful can you? well yes they can be extremely dangerous and frightening but if you look at it... it can be astonishing, like all weather
We read up on rogue waves, so rare and so dangerous.
The radar satellites are now showing there is a lot of them that no one ever encounters.
you have to remember they are some stories up above the deck. had this been taken from deck level that wave would have looked much bigger.
This is the definition of rogue wave, a wave seamingly out of nowhere at least 3 times size of the other waves. It just Looks small from the camera perspective.
Imagine being a dude in the 1400s in a ship made from wood and you suddenly see a wave larger than your ship. I'd probably just assume we did something to piss off god
And at night you don't see it coming. On a smaller vessel that is how people get hurt or boats damaged or worse. I saw one at dusk in the Gulf Stream with a strong north wind against a 5+ knot current. I was on a 50 foot sailboat and waves were averaging probably 12 feet. The rouge that hit us was close to 30 feet. Scary but amazing at same time.
Baieti, lucrati pe acel vas? Iar daca da va pot intreba ca ce? In orice caz, pare un job foarte solitar si special :) Cel putin la momentul filmarii acestui video. Daca mi-ati putea da mai multe detalii as aprecia enorm. Toate cele bune!
Eu sunt cel in salopeta rosie. Ce vrei sa afli mai exact?
Wow! I can't believe the ship took it on the beam. It must have come out of nowhere.
Shows that you don't need a storm to get a rogue wave . . . .
My heart will go on starts playing
I've rewatched this like 20 times. Wow thats crazy
Why, and what was?
Goes to show how well ship are built these days
That was it! I kept waiting for this huge wave! Try being in the Bering Sea in the winter, or the South China Seas, anytime! Being part of the 7th Fleet put us in unbelievable sea states, sometimes it felt as if the ship might rip apart and we were the supply ship. 3/4's the length of a carrier, but deeper in the water due to all of the supplies. We would literally have the screws come out of the water and it sounded like every rivet or bolt holding the ship together was about to snap! Most people can't even fathom 80, 90 or 100ft + waves, but they exist!
