This is not displacement. Displacement is a measure of the ship's weight. This effect is actually a depression wake that forms on the leading edge of the bow wave. It becomes severe in narrow, shallow shipping channels.
Why is the depression caused? As far as I can think is ship creating some sort of low pressure area under it, sucking water from the sides. But I still don't understand it fully.
i was thinking its because the propeller pulls water (like its sucking ) then expels them from behind to create thrust. so all that water below the ship is forced towards the aft. and the surrounding water compensates that loss .thus making the shoreline ahead of the ship shallower. and as it passes everything returned to normal
This is the same thing that happens when my mother & law swims parallel to the beach.
Damn you did em dirty

You have to wonder how many fish get sucked through those props.
I doubt any fish is interested in staying close to the big thing overhesd

Oh sh*t
Cool vid
Girl at 1:27: "Nope, I'm out!" LOL
Nice vid!
I told her to run but she thought I was playing lol thank you
When big ships pass like that why does the water do that?

@@kentuckypausal props don’t move enough water to affect shores that far away
Awesome video.!
there we go huricane fred coming apicalypse
I assume The “Carnival Splendor “ came from “Port Everglades”.
Michael Saul yes sir
Where is this? I'm on oregon coast and it just isn't possible for boats to be that close to shore. We have huge rocks that eat ships.
I think it’s in Miami
Fort lauderdale port water is shallow so it is more noticeable but you have to be there at the perfect time to cathc the tide
@@deepharrow8520 so neat tho
I guess this is not going to happen again...
Thumbs down 👎 for taking the camera off the action.
The ship blocks the course of the waves to the shore, thats not displacement
Lololol😂
