Filmed during a heavy storm on the North Sea, between Norway and Scotland. The conditions were terrible, the views amazing! Waves of 20 mtr plus were recorded!
Fyi, the vessel is the Calamity Jane, an offshore support vessel. L.o.a. : 141 m or 463 ft.
I also respect and admire naval architects and other engineers that make these ships withstand such rough conditions.
Its been 10 years how are u doing
I spent almost ten years working on cargo vessels, good job and traveling a lot all over the world but no life, no birthdays, no Christmas with family. I survived two major accidents, a collision with another vessel and a fall on the deck hitting my back, unable to stand by I just rolled to a safety place with a lot of pain, almost one month later I started working normally again. Huge storms and huge waves, strong winds and solitude are part of a sailor job.
How are things going? Do you miss the sailor job? Do you now have a family?/
@@knowsmebyname sometimes l miss my sailor job, l don't wanna lie but right now l have a job in Dallas Texas with an insurance company and l feel good here. Yes, l have two kids, l got my divorce and now l am dating a Russian lady.
@@marcochavez11 hmmm this is just my opinion but dating a Russian lady is more dangerous than huge waves, huge storms, and strong winds, no? Hehe hope you are happy friend. That was a good post you started with.
@@knowsmebyname LOLOLOL 🤣

Now imagine it's 250 years ago and you're sailing in this in a small, wooden ship.
1. Those actually rode the swell better, and lacking mechanical propulsion would have sailed with the seas, not against, making the prespective totally different as well
It's a heck of a thought. It's also where my mind goes when I watch these. Running before the wind in mountainous seas in a creaking wooden ship powered only by sails. Terrifying.
Yes, and Grandma couldn't finish your pullover, because she was always drunk.
stfu
Respect to the people who have to go through this everyday, I would shit myself if I was in this situation.
I was thinking that before I even read your comment!
me too and that's because I like sea and everything related
Lovely
That's insane! Thanks for uploading this, it's definitely something I'd never see otherwise.....and even better- thanks for not adding annoying music!
Respect to you guys, many a time I have stood safely onboard giant Oil Platforms and watched boats like yours in these conditions and thought its a gonner just to see you resurface in what seems like minutes later. The video does not fully capture how really wild it can be out there.
Truly awesome. Time passes, land appears and recedes, cultures and civilizations rise and change and fall- and the ocean is just like “that’s cute” and goes on doing its gorgeous terrifying primal thing.
Bloody scary, wondering with every big wave whether the the ship will hold together.
I'm so glad to be watching this from the comfort of my own home!
Mind blowing to me that this has been around for 16yrs. I remember when youtube first came out
Yes, me too. I have a pre-beta gmail account and was early on youtube. I get people responding to things i wrote almost 20 years ago and it's really cool. But weird.
I'm glad people are still amazed by the same stuff they were 20 years ago. It means we haven't changed that much after all.
@@MatthijsKoningstein No, it means culture is changing much faster than biology. My brother was born in 1973 and I'm '80, so we are entirely different generations. He didn't have global communications at his fingertips as a child, but I did.
This video of the stormy North Sea was uploaded before the Hoist the Colours craze was adopted to it.
Wow.
i remember watching this in 2011 when i was kid, time fly so fast
I still remember being on that ship in this weather...
Captain: I need a volunteer to get out there and clean the windows
Crew: (Crickets)
Captain: Tobey, here's your bucket!!
lol at the guys in the background... "Wow!! haha!"
pretty sure the boat is about to sink i would be scared
Wow...
Those are monster waves!
Thanks for posting the video.
I still would love it out there! Scared crapless, loving it! Besides this would make up for the boring days!
Look at all that water gathering up in the bow of the ship from the waves that keep hitting it omg!
It makes me appreciate how much guts it took to sail the oceans in wooden sailing ships.
Amazing!
17 years ago ? Dayyyuuummm why is this recommended 17 years later
I like these moments in the ocean, may God protect all who travel in ocean.
Our love is like a ship on the ocean, it sails with a course of love and devotion🎶🎵🎵🎤🎶 rock the boat, dont rock the boat baby, rock the boat, dont tip the boat over
That looks so fun!
Looks so fun!
Question: The beep-thingy is a warning for high waves?
It’s for list angle I think
@@user-re9gj2zd5e Autopilot off course alarm
I would be scared to death honestly
On the ferry from Aberdeen to Shetland, I tried to sleep through a gale 9 storm.... without seat belts, lol. I didn't get any sleep though, was busy trying to stay in bed.
But you're absolutely right, when you don't fall out of bed, this is awesome!
That just terrifies me! *shivers*
When I see this I think of my Viking ancestors
I know, let's hope he read it as well ;)
that is the best rollercoaster youve ever been on :D:
Thanx you friend
Holy shitters and critters and dithers and fritters.
0:33 a pool on the ship :D
thats insane!!! must have been a fun ride
wow.. that's amazing
Get the ludes!!
no
NO.... THAT'S AN ORDER AND A FACT!
that video before 10 years 😱
so stoked
Nature is so awesome
I wonder what the year 2029 is gonna be like
Nope, it's the Calamity Jane. I should know, I was on board ;)
thyztwizta 7 yrs ago
that is a A class video!!! when the bip starts it's quite scary!!
Amazing.
"We're all going to die-weather" imo
What if one fell, but they had a life jacket, would they still die?
yes. the water temp would kill you before rescue
Chanel Valentine You need to be more spesific, if its without being rescued ofcourse but if he gets rescued after a minute he could survive
with the conditions of the ocean in the video? I highly doubt they would survive. the current and waves would make it extremely hard, if not impossible, to rescue them. I don't think a life jacket would mean that much.
Could watch this for hours
It brings back memories . . . .
No point in eating ...
there is a point, regurgitate it ready blended. no blender needed.
Most likely would have a heart attack and die.
If one falls then the propellers may suck him into them and cut him into pieces.
I would easily get sea sick, great capture on that
Amazing
What was bad about that? Seen bigger waves in my bath tub
Wow amazing
this looks soooo friggen fun :D
Ive been on a cruise in weather like this. Its freaking scary but its the most awesome experience
that's awesome.
awesome!!!
I miss that so much!
Wow ! I would get seasick instantly ! Respect !
I appreciate there not being music just the sounds of the crew and mother nature.
it looks so incredible. It must have been a great day
Amazing!!!Wave!!!
Bravo!
Well filmed, my compliments to the helmsman.
incredible
I miss those rides in anchorage and also leaving sitka when worked for princess cruises....wahoooo !!
i love it :)
WOOOOW !!! Big pictures !!!
Wow, so much water comes up onto the foredeck! Hope it all gets out before the next big one!
love the way the guy in the background just makes lol of the weather...
i like this work
Same thing happened to me but a WHOLE LOT worse, I was on a 28 ft grady-white coming from the bahamas headed towards florida and that day could be the worst day of my life, we were navigating through 21 ft waves from stern, starbord, port, from all directions and we made it, that grady saved my life..
I love how the guy just goes whoo when the giant wave hits
this is nothing. oh i long back to the seas when i see this clip... this is freedom.. this is mother earth at her best...love it simply love it...
OMG! SO COOL...
that looks sooo fun
Feels good, man...
one person sounded like a sibling of me but when the first wave hit i said to myself that was epic!
The trick is to go at a speed which is either slow enough to allow the vessel to gracefully descend into the wave hollows or to go fast enough to let her go from peak to peak. Any speed in between those two will just make her dive into the wave hollows too late - and then to crash bluntly into the next oncoming wave because the bow can't rise quick enough (it's still on its way down and inertia takes its toll). Furthermore, it means to burn fuel for nothing.
wow, that's out of control.....would definitely be freaking out.
Very thrilling!! Did that on the ice breaker USCG Polar Sea on our trips through the Bering Sea and a few other areas.
That looks so fun :)
You guys took that turbulance like champs (pardon my spelling)...it takes special stomaches and plenty of "no worries" type of folks to work or travel by sea. Thx for the upload.
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR - INCREDIBLE
You guys are brave!
wow!
Ladies and gentlemen... The wirlpool on the front deck is now opened.
This is one of the few clips on youtube where the title is an understatement!!
Holy crap!
Holy cow!
The trenching support vessel Calamity Jane supports Solitaire, Audacia and Lorelay with activities such as pre and post route survey, crossing preparation and mattress installation, and operates as an independent unit with the mechanical trencher Digging Donald.
Somehow ended up in this section of youtube again! haha, started watching some clips of wildfires.. how i ended up here i'll never know. Usually end up on the lightening section of youtube! Guess it just goes to show, nature is unbeatable!!! epic stuff
realy impresive!
@Toffgeir Hey since you work on such boats I would like to know how does it get rid of the water that comes aboard? won't that amount of water drive it to go lower that it would take even more water and might sink? and thanks!
Love how all the persons on board seems like enjoying their stay. ;) Even though I'm a sailor (in a sailboat though) I would hate to be out in those watherconditions. lol
Miss those days.
Crazy!!!!!!
No lie: the movie Perfect Storm would pop in my head...no lie: this would make me cry. o.0
Welcome to our beautiful Ocean Planet, enjoy the storms and calm.
It sure is beautiful!
Welcome to the north sea in the winter! Ik kan niet wachten man! Weer heerlijk surfen! :D:D
