I went across the Irish sea in a ferry back in the 80`S,the wind came upto a force 10 southerly,I thought we were going to capsize.I sat up all night on the weather deck next to a lifejacket locker (mid winter),the ship was rolling that much I could see the stars underneath the ships railings.Since that night I have held the upmost respect for all seaman/women.
...the force 10 storm at sea. The one adventure I've yet to live... And probably never shall.

Well, there's a strong wind a-blowin' outside m' window; And m' room and Man-Cave

@sitwosaints because she's headed into the wind/waves - she'd breach otherwise. If you look carefully, you'll see she's pitching - orizon above and below the prow.
@RMINCProductions I've seen it that colour many a time - it's when the air displaced by the ship's movement mixes with the water and the light reflected shows the mix - the air lightens the colour of the sea.
They should stick photos like this on every bottle of imported wine and all the other stuff you guys risk your necks to bring us....and we should raise a glass to you every time.
Why can't we just know? Very good question, worthy of St. Thomas Aquinas. God knows more about us than we know about ourselves. Why God created us? God didn't have to create man or anything. God wanted to create us. Because it is not out of necessity, but out of God's free will, it is impossible to know this through natural reason. Man has to tell woman that he loves her to make it possible for her to give him yes or no as an answer. So God had to revealed to us our supernatural goal, it is God
She is a laker "Selkirk Settler". The pictures were taken on Feb. 13 1987 in Atlantic Ocean, on the passage from Tampa to Ghent by Capt. George Ianiev, who was the ship's Second Mate at the time.
wouldnt bee too scared if i were ina bulk carrier... kinda stable, but if i were in a car carrier (although a car carrier would never go through these paths anyways) that would be crazy.
Bulk inship means they load bulky like thousand tons. Sample grain or sulphur. This is one of the most memorable times of mariner they never forget, it's normal to all mariners.
I think i have to agree with imq01. It looks like the wave coming over portside is photoshopped/faked. Main reason being that the general wave direction is perpendicular to the orientation of the ship, not parallel. It could ,of course, be a rogue wave, but at 90 degrees to the general wave direction it is , I think, unlikely.
wastn't that the ship (Pasha Bonka or something) that crashed into the beach near Sydney after these photos where taken. It crashed because of the damages sustained during this storm
Pasha Bulka grounded because the capitain ignored the warnings and refused to take his ship further out to sea. It dragged anchor all the way to the beach.
Hey WHITEPOWER...please advise the intelligent world on how levels of melatonin and presence of testicles makes someone more or less seaworthy. It has been my experience from working in almost every hotspot since Haiti, that education trumps ignorance in matters requiring composure and discipline. Does that mean anything to you? If not, stop banging your sister long enough to get a GED and maybe you can communicate with other than ignorami. Your begged for attention. You got it.
It means nothing, you're obviously going to vehemently defend those stupid cunts who want to work in a mans job and expect glory for doing so. Women should be at home where they belong looking after the kids and their man while he is at work.
Man you need to slap your mother stupid for not swallowing. To think that someone could bring into this world a piece of shit like you and call them their child is totally beyond belief.
Proves the theory that idiots thrive and unfortunatley breed.
out of curiosity catamaran ships are more stable than "old fashioned" ships right? I see more and more of them for passenger ferries but never see one for freight...
I would agree with you up to ta point, there is a point when it just makes life a bit more interesting, and then there is a point when it becomes uncontrolable and downright dangerous and the thoughts turn to the safety of the ship and her crew.
Actually bud, this Bulk carrier was a laker before being graded for ocean going use, just makes it more interesting when you get out there, and mad men go to sea so that other men do not have to worry about running out of fuel for the car, or whether or not they can get that austrailian bottle of wine. We take the risks, so you don't have to.
I think ships are more adaptable to going to see than most men are. I have seen many a man fall apart when the huge waves come. For me, it just gets more interesting and fun. Thanks for your comment.
@hepcoach it's scary the first time, fun the second, and annoying every next time for the rest of your life... Cause I doubt you're having fun trying to sleep in 30-40 degree rolling, are you?

I know the money is just a bonus, and that you really do it for the rush( AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I'M TOLD) Anyway's keep up the good work,I need Coffee.
@stephanie23665 As I say Mariners are a humble lot, our task is rarely talked about but we always appreciate it when people recognise the task for what it is and respect us for doing it. It is a pleasure to do it for those that appreciate it.
@EZ256 The same could be said of Many Professions. To name but a few,
A Military Man in Afghanistan about now. A Pilot for Air Frieght. Professional
Truckdrivers. Men who walk & Build the High Steel. Oil Platform Workers.
I am not attempting to marginalize the Video. It would scare the Hell outta me for sure. However, there are MANY Extroidinarilly Dangerous professions
that Ordinary people go out and perform every day that enable others to carry on with their particular job.
@ancientastronomer I would completely agree, but the Men and Women of the Merchant Navy in most cases are not even recognised by people for the work they do, regardless of how much they get paid someone has to do the job and it is an extremely skilled job even these days, I do not take anything away from the military man in afganistan, but I would point out that the Merchant Navy face very real dangers these days too, forget the weather, imagine being fired at unable to fire back(pirate)
Miners from Peru to South Africa have terrible, short lives... and are only proud of their profession, because it's so wretched... and bonding... like WAR.
Workers sweat and die of all manner of diseases, cancers and poisonings the planet over, to bring us, the smug consumer, our everyday habits. I drink to the Unknown Worker!
@andreaprodan Hmmmm. I'm sitting here thinking. You know, EVERYTHING
you described would fit the U.S.of A. from 150 Yrs ago. Interestingly enough, I fear that it may very well describe the U.S.of A. about 20 Yrs from now..........?
@EZ256 In every profession there is some sort of 'risk'. In life, one has to take risks at some point of time
or the other. Afterall, the seafarers spend a fortune to educate themselves in the trade (to make themselves seaworthy). Ridiculous to call them mad!! If one goes by your philosophy every profession is mad man's profession in someway or the other. What about airmen?
i won't never go on bulk carrier, the stability on those ships is most important and it's a big responsibility to calculate it and to load the ship with cargo, and if you mess...it's over.
Well, obviously it's better to have a "too low" centre of gravity instead of "too high" as the latter would result in loss of stability and capsizing, but having an over-stable ship is not a good thing as it has a negative effect on rolling in waves: the movements will become more violent, which is unpleasant for the crew, and in the extreme cases the loads will be more than cranes, deck cargo etc. can handle.
I agree with you. I sailed for 8 months on a bulk carrier as a 'sparks' and the low centre of gravity was not pleasant indeed. I prefered the normal cargo ships I sailed on. Hmm, was a long time ago :=))
i ve experienced those bulk carriers fully loaded and there are about 15 ft. from the water to the deck , that is not too much when the heavy weather comes , if cargo is well latched its not so dangerous , the gravitational axis is lower than a cruise ship for example , and it s technically much more stable but such so dangerous if is not completely watertight all around ,hatches ,cargo holds ,wt door , ventilations , etc.
Pretty sweet pics. But have you ever seen how low to the water the surface of these ships sit when they're fully loaded? The waves are big, don't get me wrong, but not as huge as it may look. A good sturdy fishing vessel would not have waves completely devouring the deck like this. Something like this probably happens every day to a cargo ship at any given location around the world.
@alllman2000 I don't doubt your word, but damn it would take one hell of a chain to resist those forces, and a perfectly planted anchor not to be pulled free of the floor.
Yes. Well I'm a captain at sea (or used to be till a few years back)- and I too found it odd. It is something i read somewhere a few years back - same vessel and same pics (you can't miss it !).
You never know - may be the cable did part. But i think i recall the write up mention that she did ride out the storm...
Perhaps that's because she isn't " stemming" the sea (again odd) , and a combination of deep water and a long stay on the cable....- not sure of the details really
I believe this is a danbrit ship,had a lot of damage done when they got in

Miners from Peru to South Africa have terrible, short lives... and are only proud of their profession, because it's so wretched... and bonding... like WAR.
Workers sweat and die of all manner of diseases, cancers and poisonings the planet over, to bring us, the smug consumer, our everyday habits. I drink to the Unknown Worker!

@andreaprodan Hmmmm. I'm sitting here thinking. You know, EVERYTHING
you described would fit the U.S.of A. from 150 Yrs ago. Interestingly enough, I fear that it may very well describe the U.S.of A. about 20 Yrs from now..........?

@EZ256 In every profession there is some sort of 'risk'. In life, one has to take risks at some point of time
or the other. Afterall, the seafarers spend a fortune to educate themselves in the trade (to make themselves seaworthy). Ridiculous to call them mad!! If one goes by your philosophy every profession is mad man's profession in someway or the other. What about airmen?

i won't never go on bulk carrier, the stability on those ships is most important and it's a big responsibility to calculate it and to load the ship with cargo, and if you mess...it's over.
desmosedici69 2 years ago
The problem with bulk carriers is that they are "over-stable", i.e. the centre of gravity is too low. Therefore they roll and roll and roll...
There were some structural problems in the 90s, though. Quite many bulkers broke in two.

it's better that center of gravity (the G point) is too low then too high of keel
desmosedici69 2 years ago
Well, obviously it's better to have a "too low" centre of gravity instead of "too high" as the latter would result in loss of stability and capsizing, but having an over-stable ship is not a good thing as it has a negative effect on rolling in waves: the movements will become more violent, which is unpleasant for the crew, and in the extreme cases the loads will be more than cranes, deck cargo etc. can handle.
tupsumato 2 years ago
yes, ofc, and over-stable ship is very bad for ship's counstruction in case of waves
desmosedici69 2 years ago
I agree with you. I sailed for 8 months on a bulk carrier as a 'sparks' and the low centre of gravity was not pleasant indeed. I prefered the normal cargo ships I sailed on. Hmm, was a long time ago :=))

i ve experienced those bulk carriers fully loaded and there are about 15 ft. from the water to the deck , that is not too much when the heavy weather comes , if cargo is well latched its not so dangerous , the gravitational axis is lower than a cruise ship for example , and it s technically much more stable but such so dangerous if is not completely watertight all around ,hatches ,cargo holds ,wt door , ventilations , etc.

This is an ocean going laker... probably not your best bet for a safe cruise
Patoche129 2 years ago
This ship is a BULK CARRIER not a "laker" (?) and certainly NOT a Tanker!

Pretty sweet pics. But have you ever seen how low to the water the surface of these ships sit when they're fully loaded? The waves are big, don't get me wrong, but not as huge as it may look. A good sturdy fishing vessel would not have waves completely devouring the deck like this. Something like this probably happens every day to a cargo ship at any given location around the world.

This is the M/V Selkirk Settler in 1987. She is now sailing under Canadian registry as the M/V Spruceglen. She is a 730' long bulk carrier.

I saw this else where on youtube.
Ive seen pics of this and happen to know that the ship was not underway ,but at anchor!!
alllman2000 3 years ago
Thanks for the comment.
This makes sense by the angle of the waves over the bow.
hepcoach 3 years ago
Yup.
First thing you learn is as the wind force picks up to above say 5/6 its better to heave up anchor and get underway.
I can just imagine the way the cable must have been behaving on that ship!
Not a very good example of seamanship i suppose.
alllman2000 3 years ago
well i guess the old man had a pretty good reason to be at anchor in this weather ;)
vanbeukenmans 3 years ago
I think he probably got "stuck:" at anchor.
and it was simply too late.
alllman2000 3 years ago
By the way ,im an "old man" myself.
and god only knows how the cable held in that weather.
alllman2000 3 years ago
The ship isn't anchored, she's underway!!!

Happened to read something about the pics a few years back.
The article said the ship was anchored.

Belay my last!! On second thought, the ship is not underway. Sorry 'bout dat!
SMFJ45 2 years ago
@alllman2000 I don't doubt your word, but damn it would take one hell of a chain to resist those forces, and a perfectly planted anchor not to be pulled free of the floor.

Yes. Well I'm a captain at sea (or used to be till a few years back)- and I too found it odd. It is something i read somewhere a few years back - same vessel and same pics (you can't miss it !).
You never know - may be the cable did part. But i think i recall the write up mention that she did ride out the storm...
Perhaps that's because she isn't " stemming" the sea (again odd) , and a combination of deep water and a long stay on the cable....- not sure of the details really
