    At age 10 in 1955 our family was emigrating from Germany to the US on a former troop transport. It was November and we were hit by a storm like this in the North Sea. My 9y/o brother and I decided to go out on deck to check out all the excitement. Upon opening the door I remember seeing huge waves washing over the sides and what I now know were lifelines strung out. Suddenly someone grabbed us by the nape of the neck, shoved us down the gangway and scolded us in English. We didn’t understand but we got the message. I’ve never forgotten that day or the fierceness of the storm even though it was over sixty years ago. I have immense respect for “ those who go out in ships!”

      when traveling by ship was still cheaper than air travel getting sea sick on a ship in weather like this was a much more common experience. fewer people traveled then as often as we do now, because it took much longer to get anywhere . but those who did have to travel could expect this kind of weather on the north Atlantic about 6-7 months per year.

Literally sailed the seven seas, through typhoons, hurricanes and pirate infested waters, and now in my 60's am out in the mountains and occasionally remembering the beauty of the sea and her power but always remembering the men and women that make their livings sailing on her with respect and wonderment in their eyes

The southern most of these is called lake scugog It means flooded land. 45 minutes from Toronto. It averages about 6 feet. A slight breeze from the southwest, and there's 5 foot rollers . Really short interval too.

      I am always reassured by fear. Fear keeps you alive. I want to sail round the world and for a while I thought I can't do it I'll be too scared. Then I realised I had always been scared sailing and it was a positive. So it's always good to read of a professional like yourself who is happy to admit the fear. Feel the fear and do it anyway. This saying was invented for sailing. So often it's amazing... and then when the fear hits... it hits hard. Then it goes again and the sea is the only place you want to be and you can't understand why anyone wants to be anywhere else.

The ship was listing probably 45 degrees from port to starboard. All the chairs and tables were lashed to the railings on the mess deck and the coffee in the big coffee makers was pouring out of the top of them every time the ship listed. We had to sit on the deck with our mess trays in our lap and hang on to the railing to keep from sliding across the deck. I was the only guy in our troop compartment who didn’t get sea sick! LOL

      I love when waves get bigger and agree with O P that you should only worry when the crew, especially those who have a lot of years experience, start to worry. Completely calm waters is boring after a while. Sometimes I like to tease poor worried people who have never seen anything other than calm waters, and say “nah, this isn’t rough, it’s just a little choppy”.
      The first time I experienced choppy waters, was in what was was an old fishing boat, taking we tourists to the Isle of Mull. It really was just a little choppy with the odd wave coming over the side of the boat as we huddled together under a tarp to keep dry. But I was scared until I noticed the old guy looking through his window and saying “Aw buggerit! mah Coffee!”. His only concern was he spilled some of his coffee. I then laughed at my worries which felt such a relief.

    Yeah, when you're about to be in a big storm the first thing you do is batten the hatches, that means close all air tight compartments and tie everything down. Then you point your ship right into the waves, you don't let it hit you at an angle. We got hit one time in a 100 knot storm on the port side and it pushed us down 70 degrees, that's almost laying flat on the ocean. Off the coast of Maine these things are called "noreasters." My ships were only 270 and 160 feet long, in the Coast Guard.

    For the sea state and size of those waves, this ship has a very sea kindly nature. A LOT of motion, but very gentle for all that. No crashing and slamming and hard stops. I know the wave spacing plays a role, but would love to see the hull design, or know what kind of ship it is.

      @@billcallahan9303 When I was on seine netters it was the early 80's, the usual practice was when steaming from A - B the helm would be on auto with somebody not far from the bridge radar especially in busy waters i.e near the docks or shipping lanes.
      This type of fishing needed somebody at the wheel, the skipper or mate usually did the job, basically it involved:
      1. A buoy would be dropped with one trawl cable attached.
      2. We would steam around a half circle, diameter about 1/2 mile+ trailing this first cable which would settle on the seabed
      3. Halfway at the top of the circle the net would go over with both cables attached.
      4. Steam back to the buoy trailing the second cable to complete the circle.
      5. Then pick up first cable and buoy ( it would have a long mast with a flag on top so easier to spot in heavy seas).
      6. Take both cables to the winch and start hauling them and the net back.
      As the circle of cable narrowed into a sausage shape it dragged along the seabed stirring up sand and both cables would shepard the fish inwards like this:
      Cable 1 -> fish

You worked the North Sea which I know (from TV & the Net) is some of the most dangerous in the world. I know choppers & even oil rig platforms have gone down up there. I watch the crews in the Bering Sea on TV in some heavy seas, they steered on auto too. I'm a retired cargo pilot. I flew old aircraft like the DC-3 with no weather radar.

      Billy Fishermen in the UK are extremely well paid but the industry still can’t get enough youngsters to get their hands dirty and do a days work.
      We are an ERRV (Emergency Response and Rescue Vessel) with the same problem but a fraction of the pay.

    Spent 25 years sailing the east Atlantic, Mediterranean, Baltic and the North Sea before I came ashore to work as a pilot. There were a bunch of rough times and loads of smooth time - that was a good time in my life. Then I came ashore because I got married and had a young family - that was and still is a good time as well, and still is. It’s nice to look back at these videos of how it was.

    Loved the sailing at night. Couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like several hundred years ago sailing similar seas at night on a wooden sail ship with no spot light, heaters, hot food in the galley, or hot coffee on the bridge with no window protecting you from the spray of the sea. I've gained a new respect for those guys. Well done Bigwavemaster1!

    I spent two years aboard ship in the western Pacific. If I remember correctly, we went through three typhoons, the worst being north of the Japanese Islands. The waves were as high as forty feet. You develop "sea legs" rather quickly, as the ship is rolling and pitching. It was awesome.
