Just imagine the sailors in the past sailing with wooden ships!! Mad respect
Back in my day we didn’t use pussy ass ships to sail.
@@fbee6844 bro what is wrong with you.
@@lankylanky9340 he is just dumb
@@lankylanky9340 I think he's from the caveman era, they didn't have sails back then
@@fbee6844 back in my day... Yes
I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone working on any ship.
My husband is a wheelsman for dry bulk carriers on the great lakes. I know he has to deal with waves but I'd be scared shitless for him if he had to work in the oceans like these guys. They work hard.
@@susane7221 he's in my prayers. The great lakes are nothing too joke about
All of it .the Mississippi River and Ohio River. These are dangerous as well.
@@bartonofarrell3920 thank you. He's working now winter sailing. It's looking like he will be gone til March.
My dad said thanks I think because he died 😅
im going as apprentice on ship this year:)
"This bulk carrier was no match for this level 12 typhoon" --- "there was no damage and no injuries"
the narrator is full of shit, this video is click bait.
Right? No match? The fact that the ship survived is an exceptional feat of engineering for mankind.
@@FT-kv1cw lol I have to laugh at your confident and pride although I respect it although I don't care for the ignorance part of it, I do better yet not respect it but understand it, first off there was no one on the deck to sustain injuries because - they while on the ship had enough common sense to respect the sea and go inside. And what are you watching this video in 440p their was obvious damage done that I could clearly see. 🤣😂🤡
@@OBI-KONOBI-ISRAEL u need a hug or something?
@@wiskipeek1428 😆
As a Sailor you don't just find yourself in the middle of a storm. We get regular weather forecasts + the larger vessels have radar & access to satellite images to make prudent decisions... enabling the captain to avoid these situations. However there are those who are overconfident and make poor decisions. The first order of responsibility is safety of crew and vessel.
Peter is it Tru that seamn have hot gay sex stuff together but don't talk about it
Thank you~! I had that very thought when the narrator said that "they found themselves in the middle of..."
@@govindagovindaji4662 I swear I was thinking the same thing
As is often the case these days...time is money, and commercial vessels often brave these storms in the interest of making a deadline
@@razorfett147 Agreed ... inspite of better forecasting of inclement weather systems ..often the pressure is on to take higher risks to delivery goods. Remember that each vessel is insured & rated including the captains performance.
Use me as a anxiety button after watching the video
Hi

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sym
That's why I pet my cat while watching.
Now... imagine the monster waves we have NO footage of....
Holy frick
The ones that ate the camera and man, filming them...
Big 🌊
Do a YT / google search on ROGUE waves - it was originally thought that it was nothing but maritime / seafaring / old salts lore adn didn't exist, until they caught one on video - in seemingly calm waters - I believe a 30-40m high wave slammed into military cutter. Don't remember the exact details, but now - scientists know rogue waves are out there AND most likely the cause of many of the 'missing' ships - no warning and overwhelming strength - the ship is either capsized, broken apart or taken to the bottom in seconds - no time for a 'may-day'.
@@IamChevalier yeah mate that’s why I won’t go on a cruise or anything like that. The movie rouge or whatever really messed me up.
Every so often I think; How in the world is it possible that we have food, oil and luxuries in even the smallest towns in every civilised country 24/7 365? I am astounded how this is done. I have the utmost respect and admiration for these men, they are incredible.
It's nothing crazy when you can trust the ship construction, but 50 yrs ago it was crazy
@@ukaszw6623 it’s crazy that we’ve come so far in this space of time to even be able to trust it, the same goes with planes
It is kind of insane, yeah. When you take into account how vast the world is, how treacherous conditions can be, and the fact that there are billions-hell, trillions upon trillions of items being transported daily…I mean, sure, modern technology, but I have so much respect for anyone who works in the transport of goods. I think tracking, fast shipping, and just the ability to receive a package at an accurate location is often taken for granted. So much goes into it, it’s unreal.
@@emoo2342 agreed !! :)
I'm not fascinated by who does the job (they're obviously skilled, mad respect) I'm more fascinated by the scheduling, efficiency and just the seamless execution and tolerance of rules and regulations.
All of that done creates this efficient eco system.
Let's not forget the incredible craftsmanship and engineering minds that go into building things like this.
God bless any one who is out at sea in storms like this ,Hope they all make home for christmas
SAME!
yes yes

The reason why I have a phobia of the depths of the sea
Same
Yeah, but, I'm thinking. Ain't nothin happening down below with all that ( Weather?) Going on up top. Probably the best time to explore the depths, and not worry about sharks. But, if it's churning up top. It's as bad below as well.
Me to
even a type 4 hurricane cant sink those ships.
Me too
I could never really imagine how big these waves were until i stood next to a these ships in person. these waves are insane
Those waves are much bigger in reality, footage is not giving fair perspective
I was in the Merchant Navy. I got my sea legs in the Bay of Biscay. Once broke down in a North Atlantic storm on an iron carrier, we had to position the ship into the storm to survive. Also caught on the edge of a hurricane on an oil tanker not far from Durban, we managed to get to port where we saw half an oil tanker being towed in, the rest had been destroyed.
My Ex was in the Merchant on that same ship and told the exact same story. He was new on the ship as well, and told of the amazing skill of the Captain who steered it through the storm. He also described seeing the ship that had been cut in half being towed in. Small world indeed!
I was a navigator in the Merchant Navy with CP Ships and have to say that I really enjoyed rough weather, sometimes for a week at a time. Great memories and great people irrespective of nationality!
All the greater respect for those who traveled the ocean on wooden sailing ships long ago. Spanards, Vikings among the most well known.
Was thinking the same.
Only to invade and destroy the people and cultures of the countries they claimed as theirs!
@@tomrogers9467 Are you implying that people are not aware that such occurred? Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but that isn't a secret.
@@tomrogers9467 Sorry to break it to ya pal. Conquer or be conquered. Been that way since dawn of man. Even the natives did it.
Get over it sjw.

Let's take this moment to appreciate underworld ❤
The engineering of those ships to avoid breaking in half is amazing.
its called steel xD
Really thick gauge too
Some still sink regardless
@@Knightfire66 it's actually way the ship is designed to flex. Not the steel itself. If you take a ship designed for say the Great Lakes and put them in any of these senerios they would most likely break up pretty quick.
Sometimes they break in half
Thank you! No stupid background noise that some claim to be music. And thanks for giving us some good background on all the picks. It's especially good to know that no one got hurt.
The seas are beautiful. It's as though the water has a mind of it's own.
When seasoned sailors act frightened you know it’s bad.
I work on container ship, I love the rough seas whenever there is storm, huge waves its an amazing site to look at, the adrenaline rush is something 👌 ❤
А я обоссалась бы от страха на первой волне...
Respekt Alter ... ich habe schon Schiss beim zuschauen 🙂Allzeit Ruhige See
Yep. My next beer is cheers to you!
Aren’t you ever terrified for your life???
@@TSUNAMI-MAMI of course if not there’s something wrong but it’s about the rush
25 year navy captain here I sailed my 850 foot twin screw landing ship through a class 4 hurricane and I can relate to these videos!! Me and my crew sent our families our ( thought to be) last messages during the voyage! It was the scariest experience I’ve ever been through… our tanks diluted with hydra carbon distillate a few hours after taking a 60 foot crawler to the bow of the starboard side… we crawled to the nearest desolate island on a single port engine in search of rescue and anchored in the safest bay… we called for help via eperb radio to the beacons near by and managed to get a signal! After 4 long days running low on food and water rations we were rescued by USSR navy team and we all went home to our families… moral of the story is love your family love your kids cause you never know what your gonna get caught up in!! Navy seal Douglas J Rockefeller signing out
This should be on "I shouldnt be alive" episodes. Sounds like similar stories of ppl who were stranded at sea.
Doubt. It’s not an eperb radio, it’s an EPIRB, for “emergency position-indicating radio beacon”. It’s not a two-way, it’s a beacon. Naval captains are, in my experience, well-educated and well-read. That post is rife with errors in elementary grammar. Sorry, but I’m not buying it.
Sure ya did buddy
Im a 50 year captain. Coming to TH-cam to flex. Ive been through 25 hurricanes. 100 tsunamis. Ive read 1299 books. And Im desperately lonely hoping to get views and likes on bullsht stories. Ive married 100 women because I can't stop boasting on the internet and flexxing on all my wives with fantasy stories.
i salute you sir.....we from INDIA are proud of u
Most sailors don't get frightened in bad weather. I was in the Navy on an aircraft carrier in 1966. We were headed home from Vietnam and we got I to a typhoon between Japan and Midway Island. We had 150 MPH winds and 80 foot waves. Our screws would come out of the water when we went over the waves. We could only do 7 knots to give us steering.
That's amazing!
Holy waves... When the screws are exposed... You know you are in the shit...
The only thing that really matters now are lost souls. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, there is no other way! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, saves lost souls. Please get saved, time is running out!!
Heaven and Hell are real, literal places, there's no in-between. Choose your eternal destination for your soul wisely.
The screws spinning in air are troubling for several reasons. One, when the screws are out of the water, forward motion stops. Second, when the screws reenter the water, they spin for a bit in foam with all the air the bring down with them, further slowing the vessel. That said, 3 knots is not surprising at all.
@@Ronin4614 I'm guessing if the screws leave the water... The rudder does as well??? so in cross winds & currents, steering is momentarilly suspended as well??? That would be nervy...
This is why i stay on land and respect Mother Earth
LAND 👍
U're do well trust me
Sandra tenho pavor a agua e a altura
It's crazy to think that these massive boats go out during this weather and can take that beating. Just wild
13:10 Those folks in that patrol boat chugging on in that stormy antarctic seas got serious huevos to be running in such serious chop in such a tiny vessel! 😱
DAMN, THIS BRINGS BACK ALLOT OF MEMORIES!!!!
Try riding-out several South China Sea and Pacific typhoons in an aircraft carrier so old she missed WWII by a few months. Having a 45,000+ ton ship get swallowed by humungous waves )especially that one trip out of Hong Kong in '83?), ...only to, surprisingly, pop like a cork after being TOTALLY SWETPED underwater, thinking you're going to drown and NEVER raise to the surface, ...EVER AGAIN! After nearly 3 years of things like this, I was NEVER impressed with, so called, sever weather in the states again.
Good that you made it through buddy
I’m glad you survived. I think my anxiety alone would’ve taken me out if I went through that.
Broo... I don't think I'll survive a day in an ocean. This is terrifying
True!
yes same here- no desire to do this- looking at it is hard enough
I’m absolutely fascinated by the strength and power of water
Definitely one of the most destructive forces out there. From carving the grand canyon to giant tsunamis or just a normal flood. Most of the sand you see if from bigger rocks just continually pounded by waves till they run against eachother and crush down into smaller and smaller particles
Fascinated and terrified, simultaneously
Much respect to those that cross the seas to bring goods to others. 🙏❤
As a seafarer myself, Ive not experienced anything above a force 10, and that was well enough for me thank you very much!! Just North of the Falklands Islands September 2015, was horrendous, life jackets on on the bridge :-(
malvinas v:
Look he a Tasunami
Lol
@@pak3tonNo the Falkland's
That Ship caught in a Cat 12 Typhoon is scary as hell. If she’s capsized, there’s nowhere to go.
@@domenicv7962 that is something very comforting
Fascinating footage the last one with the navy patrol boat gives new meaning to the word Uber mensch
I spent four years in the U.S. Navy. I was aboard an Aircraft Carrier. Once, we were in 50 foot waves, remnants of a storm not too far away. Some sailors were getting sea sick. Our ship rode out the waves without instant, and a few times I saw water going over the flight deck. What impressed me the most, a U.S. Destroyer following behind us, spent half of the time underwater. Waves were going over the bridge. I was glad I was on my ship. When I think back, those four years were the best four years of my life. If you are young and considering joining the U.S. Navy, JUST DO IT. In the long run, you will be glad you did.
Warships have really bad stability and they are continuosly being awashed by water. Of course their construction allows them to move quicker than commercial vessels but in prize of poor stability
peddle your propaganda elsewhere
I'll pass. Never want to strap myself into my rack so I don't fall off my rack lol . CVN or bust :D
@@TkKirkland-lm5wv LOL funny
@@ukaszw6623 I think you could do with learning about ships stability, most warships have good stability. They take alot of water over the top by design for a number of reasons none of which are related to stability.
Underworld , I use to live in Halifax Nova Scotia, and there was several beaches that would get pounded by huge waves , and my uncle worked in the navy in submarines often, I can remember the ships being docked and when ever a storm came in , they would be tossed about while connected to the docking area . Was pretty amazing to see just how powerful the oceans can get , love your video ,✌️✌️✌️
@Russka it was … also many moons ago
𝐻
Nova Scotia CANADA.. 😘❤️👍
My exH was in the US Navy… anytime a storm came in they would be recalled immediately to get the ships out of the ports so they purposely wouldn’t have to weather the storm attached to the dock. That’s a sure fire way to ruin a fleet and completely take out not only the docks, but quite possibly the entire port. Even where I am at now, the merchant marines move their ships out (unless they absolutely can’t), because it’s safer for all involved. You said in a previous comment this was many years ago - I wonder if they still ride out storms the same way? Seems very expensive to repair. 🤷🏼♀️
Went to Peggy's cove during a storm when I was younger, it was awesome lol
#4 "The ship was no match for the giant waves." Moments later "The ship reached land with no damage and no injuries." Seems to me that the ship did just fine against the waves. Lol.
Was just about to comment exactly this, but you've beaten me to it. This is why proofreading is important! :D
The servicemen on the rescue boat were brave, no doubt, but the guy water skiing behind them was truly awesome.👍
imagine the vikings and polynesians hundreds of years ago when they sailed the vast oceans with their antique ships in such conditions. I really admire and respect the greatness of my ancestors
I couldn't imagine being out there in a big wooden ship, struggling against those waves with no engines, radios, Uh No thank you. ;)!!!
I remember a while ago on Deadliest Catch the boat that got nailed by a rogue wave,still impressive to think about.
I remember watching one of the crew of one of the crab boats get tossed overboard after a rogue wave sent a crab pod right into his back. He was lucky to survive.
Those Marines at the end in the training video........ Are fucking fearless
Our sailors in NZ are pretty much like Marines as well tho :D
Thank you for the clip.it's is scary and terrifyng to see such rough seas,waves high like mountains.it's only by the mercy of Almighty God that made the ships to reach their destinations safely.praise your lord my brothers and sisters for saving your lives.
Wow these pictures give a lot of credit to the great sea captains that are able to maneuver around huge typhoon waves they really know how to Batten down the hatches, because if these ships have survived, that means there’s a lot of organization going out to protect the cargo that they’re transporting
16:35 Who ever ordered these men to go out in that weather for this exercise, should be court-martialled.
Thank you for posting several minutes of each clip. Usually you get a few seconds and you haven’t adjusted yet to what your watching. Nicely done 👍
I've been in heavy seas fishing over 35 years.Off of the coast of Rhode Island.
But the girl laughing at 6:09 is braver than most taking 60 foot monster waves.
I think it's just ignorance. It is possible that a 7 year old kid would react in the same way, only because trust the ship and her companions
🤔
Brave? Dont think so. That girls laughed only because see is naive, believing in the invincibility of her vessel and being in a group on the bridge, hiding her nervousness probably. Might also be her first serious storm and not realizing the seriousness of the situation. Since, after all, what was now so funny about it?
6 years in the Navy, I've ridden some of those out on a tin can. Always mesmerizing watching them from inside the ship.
*Those aren't waves, they're mountains*
clock sounds start
This reminds me of interstellar
Good reference
I have a feeling that clip one is in fact a rogue wave as it comes from a completly diffrent direction from the normal waves.
Scary as thought!
it was a rogue for sure. sometimes they got 3 to 4 times bigger then the others surrounding.
The ocean is so powerful and beautiful. What an experience when you get to tell the story!
Watching these videos makes me miss working on the water. Hated summer sailing but love the fall and winter.
There’s nothing unusual about any of these videos. Ships around the world face these conditions every single day. Thanks for sharing.
And you were on them, huh?
I like the quote from the RNZN crew: Oh the gun just got f**ed up!
Oddly enough this entire video was extremely satisfying for me I absolutely love the ocean and everything about it especially the power it exudes
My man was bricked up watchin this
@@trever9143 AYOOOO
Amazing how quiet the ship’s bridge remains despite the millions of gallons smashing against the ship
That first video was an example of a rogue wave. The people on that tanker were very lucky. Those monsters are killers
What Is a Rouge wave why are they dangerous
@@zakvondaniken9327 they are storm waves which occur when a number of smaller waves clump together. The hulking great wall of water then rises as much as 3 times the average wave height. And they dont follow the general wave pattern. They are very powerful and unpredictable. They have sunk many ships.
I’m just glade none of them were tsunamis……well maybe the last one
Oh wait the second one
Lol
Out of all your footage, seeing the tiny rescue boat being a boss in a force twelve hurricane takes balls and what should you be afraid of if you were on the boat and lived to tell it.
Makes you wonder if the CO had a personal grudge with the folks on the training mission in the last clip or if it was sheer incompetence with all personnel involved. You don't launch training exercises if you can't reliably retrieve your team members.
Exactly! Who sends people on "training" like that!?! It's all well and good to tell a thrilling story after everyone survived. But what if not? The ocean isn't to be fooled around with thus, I feel... Again, I'm no mariner. What do I know?
They looked like they were doing just fine, but I agree, that was nuts.
my toxic trait is believing i could survive swimming in those waves 💀
Lol, the nervous laughter on the New Zealand Navy Ship didnt fool me for a second..no matter how huge and well built they are all tiny specks in the oceans.
Can you imagine being one of those guys in the patrol boat. I'd have lost my mind in that.
The Navy exercise is the culmination of many hours, weeks, months and even years of practice for the crewmen. However, they will go where and when orders say they must go - that is the duty of all soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen - they are all volunteers.
Few experiences are more exhilarating than being on a warship crashing and riding waves at speed. The power of the sea…tonnes of green water hitting the bridge and shuddering throughout the entire ship.
Dude. Hardcore. My head is swimming just from watching. Imagine how intense it was in person.
Phone rings: Carnival Cruises. How can I help
Me: I would like to cancel that cruise i booked yesterday for next June...😄
Hahahaha
Starting at about 13:20, the helmsman of that patrol boat seems to have a super-human level of skill … Is this a rarity, or must all seekers of a rating to pilot this type of vessel have to demonstrate this kind of control in storm level 10 seas?
1q1q
I did somewhat seriously consider flying for the military, but this, I could never. I'm too much of a control freak to let someone else captain the ship, too much of a pushy to captain one myself. I grew up in Jersey and have never been more than 5 feet deep in the ocean. When I think of what it takes to be one of these captains, then I'm like would they have what it takes in Titanic times? And would those guys have what it takes in Columbus times. Who the hell was on the wooden bridges when it was all about Rome and Vikings? You'd have to be nuts! I guess there always were and always will be people way braver than myself willing to stomach being out in the middle of the ocean. I cannot imagine.
Got to agree with you Kenneth. The coxswain of that RIB was phenomenally good.
This is a relatively medium sized RIB (rigid-inflatable boat), to pilot this vessel in the USA you'll need a basic qualification from NASBLA or ASA which is very simple, and in the UK you don't need a licence to drive these boats at all. It looks impressive in the video but it's actually very easy and most drivers would be able to do that, he's got good throttle control, but as long as you don't turn sideways onto the waves for too long (you could get rolled), you'd be fine.
@@theot.e2499 You have far more confidence in "most drivers" than I. In calm weather, yes, but in those conditions you really need to know what you are doing.
Shivers down my spine. That is absolutely terrifying! Imagine our ancestors crossing those waves in tiny wooden boats!
I've been working as a sailor and as bosun on small, and even smaller ships for 20 years worldwide, and i have been in this situation many times and worse. I loved any moment of it.
😳😳
Ok
Top job to the helmsman skill of the rib in the last video 🤜
The Southern Antarctic vortex has been particularly wicked this year with the Antarctic recording its coldest winter on record averaging minus 78 degrees and the southern oceans particulaly bitter to navigate on the back of the extremely viscious season
That's impossible. We're in the grip of Global Warming!
Soooooo.... Dying under water has always been one of my biggest fears, which is ironic since I LOVE natural disaster/ storm movies. Watching this video I was afraid and worried about the passengers/ crews onboard. BUT somehow this video managed to still make me want to get on a boat. A freakishly LARGE boat and DEFINITELY NOT IN A STORM but I think it was a lot worst in my mind.
Having a phobia of the ocean, this does not make me feel any better.
So why you watch it
*As Gordon Lightfoot sang in his song “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” he asks “Does anyone know, where the love of God goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?...”*
*I think of that every time I see video of ships in rough seas.*
My dad was navigator on merchant ships in WW2. He was from England and did the Atlantic traverse across to Canada. Then he did the African coastline, around the horn of Africa to Durban, and on to India.He went through a lot of wild oceans.
But after the war he married my mum in Oz, and did some merchant work for a bit longer. He told me about one time in the Southern Ocean when they "surfed" down a wave, and then he looked up from the bridge when they were in the trough, and this giant wave towered ahead of them. Then they rose up the other side and got hit by this gigantic wash. It was the biggest he had ever seen.
Hello... how are you doing??
@@caseyandrew9627 good
It's amazing how these massive vessels keep their balance and stay afloat and not capsize in these massive swells. Technology is crazy 🤪
Problem... depending on the cargo (coal, iron ore etc) something similar to liquefaction can occur which results in the sinking of the vessels in mere minutes
Hello... how are you doing??
AND coast guards around the world have to go into these maelstroms to save mariners. Respect.
I grew up lobstering in Maine I've been on some pretty nasty seas It's crazy to think that on a flat calm day that the ocean can turn into that you can't believe that water can move like that know what I mean
I see this and think back to the El Faro sinking and 2015. Being in these seas with no propulsion must have been terrifying.
I captained a 26 foot fisheries survey vessel on a bay of Lake Michigan and no way were the waves this big. But a couple of times they were big enough to make me turn around and head back to port. And that was the difficult part - turning the boat broadside to oncoming waves as the old steel boat swung around.
wri g
Yea...yall have that im good, aint no way I'll work on a ship in my life. Mad respect for those warriors out there, this is nuts 🤯🤯
Juro que me entregaría al mar y moriría felíz justo ahí. Gracias por este excelente video, me lleva al más allá. SUBLIME!!
This is one of your scariest videos for me. I would’ve vomitted, screamed and cried altogether if i were ever stuck in the ship with these monster waves going on.
Diyunjae1 eu tenho pavor a águas e a altura
My impression of some of these ships:
"Now I'm a ship. Now I'm a submarine. Now I'm a ship. Now I'm a submarine."
The ocean is a unforgiving place, my dad's friend went down on the ocean ranger. All 84 crew were lost.
Imagine suddenly godzilla appears!! 🐲🦖
1:20 Such heavy sea is very odd for the Baltic Sea. After all the average depth of the Baltic Sea is a mere 55m (180 feet), minimum depth (excluding coasts obviously) is only ~30 meters or 98.5 feet.
@@domenicv7962 I mean the Baltic Sea does have fish LMAO
North sea is relatively shallow, but has some of the largest waves on earth. Baltic sea can have brutal storms too.. you should check out the sinking of the Estonia..
These are INCREDIBLE scenes , amazing !!!!
This is the biggest proof that there is a great Creator behind all this creation
I love these types of videos I can't even lie.
These are also called rogue or freak waves, they happen thousands of times each day and in any sea state. They can reach more then twice the average high wave hight and are likely caused by constructive wave intereference, same as wave interference works with other waves, acousitc or electromagnetic for example. One interesting fact is that waves ofcourse consist of a high and a low point, and as constructive interference can build up the wave hight to a rogue wave, it can deepen the wave trough, creating a rogue hole that can be just as devastating.
None of these were rogue waves, up until recently there has never been one officially videotaped. These were just very high waves
The waves somehow remind me of the ocean-going movie Master And Commander (2003). (I love that movie). The huge wave created by CGI in the movie looks unreal, but watching this vid reminds me that those CGI actually looks pretty actually. The movie also won an Oscar for sound effects which this vid fails to reveal or capture. The sound of howling gale-force wind is something to behold. Without that, watching the vid feels rather unreal.
Love your videos
Imagine the Vikings sailing these waters with their wooden boats! Insane!
I like first video, because i live near Baltic sea, and i go swimming there every summer. I always thought, that waves like this happens only in oceans, not in small sea, like ours.
The guy in video #2 is an ace. His angles and read of the swells are about as good as one can get in a vessel that size.
All ships sailing on the high seas steer with an so-called Autopilot, no human labour (steering) involved. Sometimes when engaging a particular large wave, the Autopilot is not able to maintain the set course (thrown out of it's set limits of let say 2 or 3 degrees) and then you will hear that annoying beep indication the autopilot cannot keep its set course.
Currently showing this to my mate its gonna be his first time boarding and he's just 5 hours away from boarding a maritime staring on Spain.
We can imagine what the people in Titanic has felt while sinking in the enormous sea
The last ones interesting - clearly an American accent over the intercom but the crew accent was NZ and the inflatable was flying a white ensign - not English but either Australian or New Zealand.
Had a good scrub through, its definitely RNZN Ensign , managed to catch a frame where you see plain white under the Union Jack - no Commonwealth Star.
Kiwi boat for sure, heard the accent and knew
that last clip, absolutely no fear holy crap
Driver of that little boat had some skills
I felt my stomach lurch a few times as I was watching these videos lol.
I love how he said found themselves in the middle of a level 12 typhoon they didn’t get surprised by the storm they drove into it something like that doesn’t just pop up they had forecasts and went into it either thinking it wouldn’t be that strong or that they could handle it but it didn’t just pop up
That small boat training cannot get much more realistic and without a doubt, the roughest weather that they may ever encounter. Glad that the training was not cancelled.
Want to have a few nightmares? Picture yourself facing these same kinds of seas, only 200 years ago! Yeah...wooden ships and iron men, indeed!
