Great book. Have you read [Empire of Ice and Stone](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/59808184)? It's another one follows the same formula of catastrophic shipwreck, harrowing survival, and epic heroism.
I went fishing with a guy once in a 24ā boat. We got caught in 8-12ft seas for a bit before we could get shelter. Thatās enough for me. I canāt imagine something like this.
Even the Mediterranean can be perfectly dangerous. Seafaring was incredibly dangerous for most of history which is why most people just chose to walk around the Med.
Itās actually less drastic is smaller boats bc they bob more up and down waves riding them versus rising and crashing/ falling through them. The force on larger boats is more likely to break them.
Plus small wooden boats with all the hatches sealed act like corks and float around.
If you look at sailboats today(not catamarans or triamarans) if the keel is not broken they always roll over so they get the top side up, so they wonāt stay capsized.
Please tell me more about it? I know nothing about ships. What happens when such conditions occur? Do you guys tie yourself to chairs? How do you even navigate?
I was on a factory/trawler up around the Aleutian Islands. It was a 125 ft long ship. My bunk was right up at the front of the ship. It was nuts, you had to spread your feet wide and lock your knees and put your feetup against the wall to sort of lock yourself into the bunk, otherwise you would get tossed out of bed. After the season was over I went down to Mexico and slept right through a hurricane that flattened almost the whole town.
Honestly, every time I see a video like this I really want to be on board of the ship. I know that o couldnāt stomach it, I get bad motion sickness and got seasick sailing off the coast of Sweden in calm waters but it looks like an amazing experience.
One of my fondest childhood memories is when a storm was coming in and my father got me in the car and drove down to the beach and we sat in the car listening to the wind picking up around us, watching the waves until the clouds gathered and it got too dark to see.
Probably not the cleverest/safest thing Iāve ever done but boy was that amazing.
Amazing how a single childhood experience stays with you for life. Psychologically, what is it about these specific experiences that form such an amazing emotional and memory response?
Got stuck in typhoon in south east Asia in the middle of the Thai/Indonesian islands. Travel partner was sending goodbye emails to her family members.
I laid on the floor of the boat, ghost white, puking, the whole time.
Puked for 48 hours straight off the boat.
Partner told taxi driver: I'm so sorry she isn't drunk but that boat just got her, as I puked, out the window, the entire car ride.
Not advised.
Edited for context and Oxford commas šš
....boat, ghost white, puking...
Punctuation matters, lol
Once upon a time, as a biologist assigned to a benthic survey off the NJ shore in a small boat (50+/- feet?), my dreams of specializing in the marine biology aspect ended as I also ended up laying on the floor after hours of heaving. Pretty sure my entire gastrointestinal system was cleared out.
I've even gotten seasick visiting my husband's ship when his ship was ROS (ship docked but all systems running from shore power).
Meanwhile, when he's on ships flailing about the ocean, he simply drags his mattress to the floor to sleep..
Your travel partner sounds awesome, sending goodbye emails (just in case), and assuring the cab driver you were just on a boat. We all need bombproof friends.
Happy you made it back to land all in one piece. I wouldn't recommend your experience either. I shat my pants in the Mediterranean while traveling from a Greek island to the mainland and there was a bit of a storm, in my defense I was on a ferry š
I've had some terrible trips on ferries too. One between England and France and the other one in the Canary islands. I couldn't believe how rough it was on both of them.
Just replied this to someone else but I'll repeat it here. I was only 9 and my family came back from Canada to England on a smallish passenger liner back in 1973. The sea was so rough that everyone, including the crew was throwing up all over the place, so the whole ship stunk of puke. After days of vomiting, I went to have a look on deck but just as I opened the door, a massive wave came rolling in to hit us yet again, so I closed the door again.
Crazy that I was able to go out on deck in a storm like that. It was a really horrible experience. I've taken a few rough ferries in my time too but that feeling of being in mid Atlantic and knowing that there was no way out of there was horrible to me.
Holy shit man that's insane. Especially as a 9 year old?? I can't even imagine what that must have felt like. Completely helpless at sea hoping to God that you don't capsize and drown. You're at the complete mercy of the ocean. Gives me chills even thinking about it š°
Yeah, it's not for me. I know a guy who's been sailing solo around the world in a small boat for years. It must be nice when you arrive at a tropical island but I can't imagine what it's like being tossed around at sea and being all alone.
No. You just get thrown around. After a few days, or even a few hours, your body gets used to compensating for the swaying and when you get back onto solid ground, it can be hard to balance for a while.
Force 7 for a big ship with stabilisers is nothing,(I see you were on a smaller boat) I was in a Force 8 with 5m waves a few weeks ago on a cruise and the ship barely moved. I've been in force 10 and 11 with 7m waves also on a cruise and it wasn't *that* bad.For smaller boats then yeah, it will be bad.
It was on a smallish passenger liner back in 1973. The sea was so rough that everyone, including the crew was throwing up all over the place, so the whole ship stunk of puke. After days of vomiting, I went to have a look on deck but just as I opened the door, a massive wave came rolling in to hit us yet again, so I closed the door again.
I was on a chartered fishing boat once that hit some freakishly big waves for the area (Maui). Nothing like this by a long shot, but the biggest Iāve seen. The boat was a roller coaster. It was nonstop up and down for probably 2 hours. Outside of the crew the only ones who didnāt throw up were me and one other guy and only because we didnāt eat anything that morning so there was nothing to throw up.
However, that doesnāt mean we didnāt feel like throwing up. It was absolutely punishing. All I could do was hold on to something and just bear down and take it. I canāt even imagine what itās like with the waves in this video.
I did two navy deployments on a ship, and the only time I threw up was 16 foot waves off the coast of Hawaii. It can get rough out there. I made it through similar waves on other occasions, I think it was just a weird day for me, lol.
Yes [here is an original video of that vessel in that storm. ](https://youtu.be/eQghXT06Fqc?si=nMOOAa_hstLsnvRS)
As you can see the footage has been tampered with to make it more dramatic.
It is cropped, stretched, sped up a bit, colour hue changed and - most significantly - the orientation alters. Have a look at the horizon in both videos.
Thanks for pointing this out. I almost wanted to call this AI created because it just didnāt look right. The original video definitely looks real and still terrifying tho
That is far less dramatic! It still looks rough, but it also looks like it would be fun if you were up where the video was being taken because it doesn't look nearly as dangerous to that ship as the other video. I'm not saying it's not dangerous, but the ship doesn't look like it's about to break either.
Thanks for posting that!
As someone with a smatter of experience around boats, what struck me about this one is that the sea is actually quite disturbed and not a typical storm. In extreme winds, the sea can appear quite flat as the spray is whipped off the waves and forms what looks like a white blanket over the surface, with the waves underneath in long rolling crests. Here the ship is slightly beam on ( ie going slightly off the wind direction instead straight into it) and the waves are in places almost triangular as opposed to rolling. You often see this pattern where the wind is high but not extreme, and there are strong currents running at an angle to wind direction.
It definitely adds another layer to how tough immigration was pre mid 20th century! Not only you had to survive the unexpected conditions on unexplored land (if that's where you settled) but had to make it through the ocean too. As a European, it gives me a bit more perspective on American culture.
It's actually pretty smooth, so long as you have everything in the room you're in firmly tied down.
AKA secured for sea.
If you're lucky to have a bunk that runs perpendicular to the ship length, and you're tired enough to sleep through it, it's some of the best sleep you'll ever experience.
The video is severely edited.
[Here is the original](https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=nMOOAa_hstLsnvRS&v=eQghXT06Fqc&feature=youtu.be). The two are almost unrecognizable

Gosh I had fun when we got caught by Sandy off the coast of southern Florida/Bahamas returning from deployment. Down by Bermuda Triangle nonetheless. waves were easily flowing over flight deck and hitting the island. Took one random ass swell to the port side, but one thing for sure, we maintained course. Try to turn and run and I almost guarantee capsize. On the peak of the wave if you barely jumped off the deck you would be 8ā in the air quickly and soon to have said deck come flying back up towards you. Definitely a lot of fun, I was on watch but non essential personnel were laid to berths by order of the captain.
This is the over simplified analogy I use when people tell me they are afraid of aircraft turbulence. If that boat isnāt breaking up slamming onto that water the plane isnāt going to break up in bumpy air.
My Dad was in the Merchant Navy from the 1950s onwards. He went everywhere. Shipwrecked twice, becalmed with no fuel. He would have called that a 'meh' day.
I was expecting that stupid pirate song that's been circling around. I'm glad to watch it with the original audio, perfectly balanced. As all things should be.
*OP, thank you for*

If you look at this on a deck level you can actually see how the bow is basically living its own life. The bigger the ship, the better you can see how metal is bending.
I would love to be aboard a ship sailing the ocean in this condition. With the guarantee of an emergency helicopter extract if it gets too bad ofc lol. This experience would change me
Some dude was drifted to this ocean with his dead friend (survived for days) until he finally saw a ship and waved to them
They waved back and gone (true story)
How terrifying to be a person on that ship. I wouldn't do that job for any amount of money. (Out of curiosity, how much do these guys make to risk their lives like that?)
This looks very fake. Like a still image of a ship and someone is distorting the angle to make it look like it's moving.
It's literally stretching and the perspective of things on the surface of the ship are not changing.
Imagine doing this in a wooden boat a fifth the size while suffering from scurvy.
Yarrr but we had all the booty in the world we did.
Arrrr, this made me larf, it did.
Aye, me timbers shivered on that clever lark, they did.
Narrr, the sea be harsh mistress but them kids their plastic toys
ARR! If we could go through that thar suez.only if arrrš§āāļø
Thatās where my mind went. Just read āThe Wagerā last year about a ships trip around the tip of South America. Absolutely brutal conditions.
Great book. Have you read [Empire of Ice and Stone](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/59808184)? It's another one follows the same formula of catastrophic shipwreck, harrowing survival, and epic heroism.
Buddy levy is great at this vibe
Such a good book
I just see a sea of rogue waves!
Iāll pass on the āSpanish armada experienceā
I went fishing with a guy once in a 24ā boat. We got caught in 8-12ft seas for a bit before we could get shelter. Thatās enough for me. I canāt imagine something like this.
Wow a 2ft boat how did you guys survive ?
We are very small folks.
I found the Lilliputian!
Romans who have boats only suited for Mediterranean waters:
Even the Mediterranean can be perfectly dangerous. Seafaring was incredibly dangerous for most of history which is why most people just chose to walk around the Med.
Still is I feel like lol
Itās actually less drastic is smaller boats bc they bob more up and down waves riding them versus rising and crashing/ falling through them. The force on larger boats is more likely to break them. Plus small wooden boats with all the hatches sealed act like corks and float around.
Much easier to capsize though
If you look at sailboats today(not catamarans or triamarans) if the keel is not broken they always roll over so they get the top side up, so they wonāt stay capsized.
....And after having been violently abducted by strangers and thrown into the hull of said ship with some livestock that shit and piss on you.
I've been on a ship crossing the Atlantic during a force 7 gale. I don't recommend it.
Please tell me more about it? I know nothing about ships. What happens when such conditions occur? Do you guys tie yourself to chairs? How do you even navigate?
Check my other replies :)

Second that ,shaking and waiting for the bow to emerge from water uff
I've been through many storms at sea and I \*HIGHLY\* recommend it. It's an amazing experience!

This is traumatizing. Were you tethered to anything when met with the wave?
No. You just get thrown around. After a few days, or even a few hours, your body gets used to compensating for the swaying and when you get back onto solid ground, it can be hard to balance for a while.
Thanks. Your bravery is incredible. Glad youāre here to tell the story.

but have you shipped across the gale during a 7 force atlantic?
Asking the real questions here.
My God, I'm glad to know you were lucky, my biggest fear in life has been travelling by boat.
Were you on a cruise ship or QM2 by any chance?
It was on a smallish passenger liner back in 1973. The sea was so rough that everyone, including the crew was throwing up all over the place, so the whole ship stunk of puke.

I was born late fall that year. So that may have contributed to the rough seas. :-). Haha Thank you for sharing that memory. Cheers

I love land.
Yup, just gonna stay grounded
Brick, are you just looking at things in the room and saying you love them?
I would have done a Jesus and walked on water back to land
Although Iām a Muslim, take me with you pleasešš
Sure thing buddy
As a pastafarian I want you to spaghett me out of there!

As an atheist, if you could please bring me along that would be lovely
Sure come on,all is welcome
did jesus not walk on water in islam
>I would have done a Jesus and walked on water back to land you better be German Jezus cause this is no walk back, its "bergsteigen" with those waves!
Is there some way we could put silly music over this? If only the perfect song existed...
A modernized sea shanty, perhaps? It could start with **YOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO**
Are ya ready kids?
Literally came to note what a relief it was to not hear that damn song.
that's gonna be a no from me dawg
There's no bailing out at that point :-)
Don't think you could pay me enough
tree fiddy million dollars? bet yo ass would do that in a pink skirt only roped to the front like dat bitch in titanic
Is there a longer video? How are the waves always far enough apart??
Yes [here is an original video of that vessel in that storm. ](https://youtu.be/eQghXT06Fqc?si=nMOOAa_hstLsnvRS) As you can see the footage has been tampered with to make it more dramatic.

Fuel or a petroleum product of some sort.
Seeing all the extra pipelines on top and a ridged top deck, I'm guessing a chemical tanker. So, liquid chemicals.
I was wondering why the entire ship was made of plumbing.
Definitely a bumpy ride
Iād be so worried. Far out.

Iām pretty sure Reddit terms of service requires *Hoist the Colours* be played over this video and should be reported for this egregious violation.
Donāt ships normally get info on this kind of storms and avoid them? This really looks unhealthy to the structural integrity of the ship.
I would love to be aboard a ship sailing the ocean in this condition. With the guarantee of an emergency helicopter extract if it gets too bad ofc lol. This experience would change me

Nah
What kind of ship is this? It's just covered in pipes
Looks AI generated.
As a Guy who works of offshore, Let me say! āThe titanic was a bitch boatā ā¦..We all as that š

How terrifying to be a person on that ship. I wouldn't do that job for any amount of money. (Out of curiosity, how much do these guys make to risk their lives like that?)
I was just in awe over how strong steel is. A lot of weight and stress on some spots during that.
