Former fisherman here , had similar experience off the east coast of Australia. We were on a 53 metre (170 ft) vessel with 17 crew. No idea of the size of the wave that hit us but it completely caved in the wheel house shearing the footing bolts across the whole front of the wheelhouse from the foredeck. Navy came and rescued us. Respect the sea , respect the men and women who work it.
Yea. For once, most microphones fail at capturing base...plus, whoever is on that ship has the subtle awareness that these waves may well be the last they get to see of this earth. 😬
Yep, pretty dangerous indeed. In a bad storms most wooden ships sink or run aground, the lucky ones ended quite damaged or stranded on a the nearest shore only repaired if a good and mild spot were found in the coast.
I've got so much respect for pilots and captains and the knowledge they have to know how to navigate this stuff and avoid direct slams like that. It CAN'T be anything close to easy.
@@tankiwolf Me too. :) I'm actually from the Hanseatic city Bremen and in my family there were a lot of seamen. My grandfather f.e. was working for the North-German Lloyd. I'm also proud to work in the seafreight logistics. Still a great, great field of work today (if not just a "Ever Given" blocks the Suez Canal xD). Doesn't matter if Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, North-German or Dutch... the rough, but beautiful North Sea is part of our history. In Germany we actually have the direct comparison to the more likely warmer and calmer East Sea / Baltic Sea with bright sandstrands, were a lot more tourists come for swimming in the summer. But yeah, I'm often thinking about the old seamen sailing the seas with their wooden ships, transporting fabrics, spices, exotic fruits and jewellery from far, far away.
@@sonatine3266 Interesting, i am also from a Hanseatic city in the Netherlands called Kampen. My familly goes very far back in Kampen. Maye i have some ancester who worked in the hanzeatic league, who knows.
That last wave was like the perfect wave with the perfect speed and shape to hit that ship... that was insane.. I would like to know how it went with that crew and the ship. Insane force.
The fine line between watching this video from the comfort of my bedroom and actually imagining myself being on that f’king deck is wayyyyyyy to freakin’ thin for me…
I remember my late grandfather used to tell me his seafarer stories about the waves in the oceans were as tall as a 2-3 storey buildings. I never believed him. But now, seeing these kinds of videos made my grandpa right.
Sounded like something fell and smashed rather than a window , I hope so . Wheelhouses are full of electronics so if a window did get busted , it has flow on effects and it would be pretty miserable for anyone on watch until the hole is plugged .
Yes, all the coffee equipment was sent flying, I used to do clean ups on ships that had been through severe weather and the windows were always in place, I can't say the same for the mounted televisions, microwaves etc: in the crews common rooms which were usually smashed to pieces though.
And then when you think about how small the world is in the solar solar system, and then when you think about how small the solar system is in the galaxy, and then when you think about how small the galaxy is in the universe…and it’s still hard for us to comprehend even how small we are in the world.
It still gets me how strong the hulls must be on those ships. As they plow their way through rough seas, one second all the vessel's weight is on the middle of the ship as they're on top of a wave and the next second all that weight is on the front and back as they go into the troughs between the waves. Weighted down with cargo too. Amazing.
A ‘Life at Sea on the Ocean Waves’ always sounds romantic and full of adventure - and then RUclips came along and gave us landlubbers this sort of thing to watch!! I have the greatest respect and awe for people who make their living on the seas and oceans of this little planet. What courage. I couldn’t do it. And then there are the people who go out in lifeboats in this sort of weather to help others in trouble. They are God’s!!
I wanna say, you all aboard that ship here, and the fact you’ll do it again and again, in my opinion, are from a diff.planet nerves of, STEAL??? Of something so much more than I could ever have, Thank you for letting me see the very thing (the ocean) that I’m terrified of and never in this body will experience, yet I love watching!!!!!!! Guys, be safe, as SAFE as you can be!!!!!!!!! Many many more waves to you!!!!!!!!
Now I understood Why I need to remember the names of important Sailors from History! With very basic sea vessels, they navigated through such a hell and discovered new sea routes! They were men with great balls!
That was my first thought. Second thought were they able to rescue the people from the boat/ship they were headed for and is everyone okay? This video reminded me of the movie the Perfect Storm. I don't recommend it. Bad ending
@@christineh4782 I think it's a standy by rescue boat. Sits next to an oil rig in case its ever needed. I don't think it was a lifeboat on its way that moment to a crisis. The crew will have been fine. These lot or hard to core. Cheers.
Hey! I have the originals videos on my channel, recorded them myself and all the crew is okay + the ships. Is a multipurpose vessel, so it's laying standby ready for rescue and safety. The company is called Esvagt
Went through a gale off New England when in the Navy. Just like that. The whole ship shudders till you think it will split open. So glad to be on land!
If you search in Google images for "putford puffin" that will give you an idea of one of the smaller vessels that regularly patrol the North Sea in case anyone falls overboard from a rig. Their job is search and rescue and have to stay out at sea for months at a time
Que insignificante somos ante semejante poder de la naturaleza. Me sentí una partícula viendo esas olas gigantes y escuchando la fuerza del viento , hermoso pero solo para verlo sentado en mí sillón en casa en un día soleado
What I always find crazy is how shallow the North Sea is on average but how savage it is. Some parts of the North Sea have less depth than the lenght of a ship
There was an ancient place called doggerland which connected britain to the Netherlands, Denmark etc but since sea levels have risen it has disappeared, that my friend is probably the part with depth less than the length of a ship
Could anyone with seafaring experience watching this vid provide a rough estimate of these wave heights? They look massive, but I can't tell due to lack of scale.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24 These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. 28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 31 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

I agree
Does catching fish during such weather work better or worse or does it not change anything?
in case you know
@@parcour4life558 it affects it big time. tide, temperature, and sea state affect fishing the most.
This makes me wonder what the sailors in 16th century had to go through with wooden ships and no weather forecast!
Hats off to them!!
They didnt pound into the wind
Yep, pretty dangerous indeed. In a bad storms most wooden ships sink or run aground, the lucky ones ended quite damaged or stranded on a the nearest shore only repaired if a good and mild spot were found in the coast.
That`s why serving on one of those vessels was like a punishment. There werent many happy to join the crew lol.
They died bruv.
You want to see cool waves, look up Ivring on the Peking
Way further back than just the 16th century. Humans have been sailing the seas for millennia.
I'm surprised the ship even floated with the weight of the crew's massive balls

Was everyone/everything OK? Looks like last wave was pretty damaging.
Man, this is scary as hell... but at same time amazing.

These waves looked gigantic in the video, I can't imagine how much bigger they looked in real life omg.
Sounded like something fell and smashed rather than a window , I hope so . Wheelhouses are full of electronics so if a window did get busted , it has flow on effects and it would be pretty miserable for anyone on watch until the hole is plugged .
My thoughtsw exactly. The bow broke the most of the brunt of the wave. Still scary as hell!
