Ships in Horrible Storms

My father was a captain, he passed away on last year on 91 years old, he told me how horrible during the storm the sea wave will be rushing up to the steering room where is the highest location in the ship , I never realized and cannot image how dangerous he was until watch this clip, I miss my father so much.

That helicopter landing on a ship in rough waters is just badass!

This video fell apart at the end when they started looping storm sounds and threw in a movie clip for good measure.

I spent a month crossing the Pacific on a thousand footer with several ports of call along the way. Most days were very smooth sailing but there were two stormy periods during that month. The first three days at sea were very rough with another stormy period in about the third week. You may not think a ship of that size would move around much but it does. My cabin was toward the bow (unfortunately) and some of those days and nights were like riding a roller coaster, constantly up and down with a lot of creaking. When we dipped into a trough and the bow crashed into the next oncoming wave it was like we ran into something solid. There was a jolt with a loud "BANG!" and the resulting bow wave would sometimes crash over my cabin window all the way up on deck five. One particularly rough night was constant up and down with a lot of creaking, banging, and waves crashing over the window, and I woke up about 3 am with my only bout of motion sickness on the trip. That wasn't much fun, but overall the voyage was an amazing experience.

This makes me appreciate being dry safe and cosy

10:20 is a computer generated scene from the movie "The Perfect Storm", not authentic event video.

Thank you so much for not ruining the video with any music. You rock!

My poppy was a merchant marine his whole life, and also served during WW2 and his ship was bombed by the Japanese in Darwin Harbour. He was a beautiful, gentle man of few words and great wisdom. The vastness and power of the ocean puts things into perspective I think. Deep respect for both the ocean and those who work at sea.

The person landing that helicopter has balls the size of Texas.

The Great Algorithm has brought us together once again. Hello, my friends.

My dad came to the West in a ship and I can only imagine what guts it took to do what he did and many others who sacrifice themselves each time they go out there to either work or travel. Hats off to you people,

Imagine being on the old wooden sailing ships. Back in the day. Exposed to the elements. Much respect. For them all .

Has everyone been magically recommended this in their suggestions too, despite not even thinking once about ships in horrible storms? The wonders of YouTube during lockdown never cease to amaze me...

Imagine being on a wooden ship in the 1600s

This has just reminded me that it's time to watch my all time favorite film again, "The Perfect Storm."

man the power of the oceans is so immense and terrifying...how could you not just feel like a helpless ant in the midst of storms like these?

Me at 4 am: hmmm I should go to sleep now... YouTube: ships in horrible storms. Me: hell yeah let’s watch this!

I didn't plan to watch Ships in Horrible Storms but when Youtube recommends videos to me, I click them.

5:45 smaller naval craft struggling to keep up with the waves, meanwhile aircraft carrier so chill that everyone can just stand on deck and watch

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin' "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya" At seven PM, a main hatchway caved in, he said "Fellas, it's been good to know ya"
