Ships designed to have an average density less than the surrounding air as stated about 1:05 are called airships. Designing an ocean going ship to be lighter than air would be a truly impressive accomplishment. As an engineer myself, I give you "props" for an otherwise excellent and entertaining video.

"Why Cargo Ships Are Forbidden to Avoid Monster Waves" TItel not explained, well done. Ships are allowed to avoid monster waves, they may and will seek shelter if they can.
-
The ship shown around 9.00 was a vessel designed to sail rivers and canals, but this one ventured out in the Black Sea, where the waves broke its back. It was out of its debth...

props to the cameraman that never sinks

They do not make boats less dense than the surrounding air. That would make them float into the sky lol 😆
-
They're called self-righting boats and the best at this game are the little 30-40 foot sailing cruisers - but this kind of boat design began with hookas and orkas used by the Irish back when Latin was the lingua franca and all roads led to Rome. They could sail circles around the Roman boats and that's why the Romans sent a delegation to the British Isles. For me, sometimes it's fun if I try to imagine how things would have turned out if the Romans had acquired Irish boat-building tech....

i read that big waves on the great lakes are more dangerous cause they are closer spaced than sea waves and also they bounce back off cliffs on shore but i guess this would only effect ships near shore?/ id like to learn more....please do the difference between waves in oceans and great lakes lol
-
Great video on these self righting boats which I really didnt know much about till now

Having been active in maritime environment for many years (some hairy but exhilarating experiences)I can clearly remember the giant bulk carrier incident many years ago. All hands lost. Happened at night somewhere in the Pacific in extremely rough waters. With the sheer cargo weight it carries all it takes for example is for ONE deck hatch to pop off. Allowing water entry. This particular giant carrier did not even have time....to send off an emergency distress signal.....which only takes seconds.

with the titanic, the water tight compartments were not sealed. they also did not extend high enough. in most modern ships each water tight section is actually sealed with whats called bulkhead deck. when fully sealed each section can be flooded, and in some ships, they can flood sections on purpose to keep ship balanced.

Hell ya finally a video about the ships going into vicious waves. I would be scared af to work there.
-
Thanks to the engineers, this is a really brilliant job
-
12:25. I instantly recognized that ship. Captain Sig Hansen

I once got to use a realistic ship simulator. We got the operator to turn the storms all the way up and we were compensating for what our bodies thought it would be. We nearly fell over, it was crazy. The system itself was also crazy. It had probably 30 pcs running it. That was over 10years ago. I can only imagine what its like now.

The ship that snapped in two off the coast of Turkey was classified as a river/littoral freighter, it wasn´t ment to be on the open Black Sea
-
It was also "impossible" with the titanic
-
2:50 vessel belongs to company i used to work for. Its ages behind civilization
-
I love WATOP CHANNEL ❤
-
Respect for nature increases everyday the waves are terrific but beautiful

An equally odd double-negative title might be, "Why home owners are forbidden to avoid tornadoes." As for the copyright issue noted in the description, unless you, WATOP, recorded the videos yourself, you don't have ownership. Did YOU get permission from the actual owners to post them?
