@chugs1984 The Portuguese did that 600 years ago, on wooden ships and within 100 years they traveled all around the world, to Japan, Australia and even America (way before Colon)
@ckface12 Yeah, but the vikings did not know what they were doing, they could not repeat the journey as they had no navigation means. If you want to go that way, the Polynesians did it before the vikings. Going somewhere and being able to register the position on a map and study the trade winds, that's something much harder.
Who then invented starboard and portside? Why do you think starboard is called "star"board? They navigated by the stars (the north star being the most common one). Most basic navigation comes from the vikings (i.e. everything that does not require a GPS, an ECDIS and a couple of electronic sea charts).
Styrbord och babord (Starboard and portside) comes from the vikings...
There are still today more scandinavian offcers than any other region in the world.
@itix1 Damn, you got a really good chauvinist brainwash. Do you know what "navigate by the stars" even mean? Knowing where North is won't do you a thing. You need to be able to calculate latitude and longitude. That's how maps are made. Latitude calculation was developed by the Greeks and the Arabs and then simplified by the Portuguese. That requires stars or the sun. Longitude requires a very accurate watch. Chronometer, Sextant, compass. None developed by the vikings.
@Migus29 I am aware that they did not have none of those instruments (some of which were developed by chinese).
Still they managed to "guess" accurately enough to sail to america and back, many times, long before Amerigo Verspucci and Christopher Colombus. It is named Wineland in history because of the wine grapes that grew there.
Vikings mostly followed the cost or used crude methods to measure offdrift and stuff like that, but it worked because they sailed to iceland and back for 400 years.
@itix1 I've found a website that explains pretty good how the vikings navigated and why the vikings did not take unnecessary and uncalculated risks, but youtube won't let me post it. Just google viking navigation.
BTW, I know about calculating latitudes and longitudes. My father is a 1st officer like many in my family (I sort of broke the code by becoming an engineer, but hell, I still know a bit about it)
@rtpchoruslead Better Pay, legitimate benefits, and not getting screwed on my gi bill would have been nice. Blessing cant justify slaving away for a congress loyal to everyone but its own citizenry. I love the sea, but the Navy... I did so much for the Navy, and for what?? A letter of commendation? Some metal? An honorable discharge? Underfunded VA healthcare "for life"? What a joke. I should have married while in, then I could have lived off base, made 4x as much, ETC...
@swiwi86 It's insane both my bros do this in yachts one has done the trans atlantic crossing single handed as rest of crew too blue, the other now in his 60's is about to set out to sail from Mex to Australia. Father was same OMG its not my idea of fun.
@swiwi86 It's insane both my bros do this in yachts one has done the trans atlantic crossing in a small yacht, some days seas so rough 40+ ft waves, crew so blue he had to sail it single handedly. That's me bros! Now our older brother still now in his 60's is about to set out to sail from Mex to Australia in 2-3 mos. Our Father was same he was director general of 1976 Sailing Olympics Canada they all love the sea was same OMG its in my blood but not my idea of fun. Horses,diving,nature are.
@smartdon007 I dont either but been in sea like that twice, once on a sufaced sub and once on a Leander Class Frigate and was a little worried but while your water tight your all right
How or should i say who took this amazing footage. Awesome and I am sure there is an interesting story behind it. Would appreciate any more info if you have it. Videoographer, where when .
been weather like that going down to the falklands was one of the worst storms I've ever been in but it was fun watching the lads playing NAAFI olympics lol. there is no way this is computer generated
Vitus Bering and his Russian crew sailed across the Bering sea in 1728 with the largest ship built for the Pacific fleet, the St. Gabriel: An astoundingly large 60 feet long, and 20 feet wide, and 44 men. It must have made Splash Mountain feel lame in comparison.
@2hatelibs1 I'm a fisherman on the great lakes buddy and I know first hand what it is like to be in weather like that whether it's on the ocean or the Great lakes I've saw shit you couldn't even begin to imagine pal it takes guts and passion to do what we do be it a fisherman or a sailor on a ship so take your computer generated bullshit comment somewhere else because you have no fucking clue what your talking about! go for a ride sometime you'll see how computer generated it is? NOT!
@GriffinAirsoft this is a deep sea salvage tug......if this is comp generated then i want to know who owns the software....look at it for gods sake....BT THE WAY I WAS 3RD OFFICER ON THIS VIDEO....SO....TOUCHE I THINK.
@mlcoo17 the last bit of the vid might of been as the ship at the end was a warship with a flight deck but tbh i don't think any skipper in his right mind will launch a helo in that weather it would be lashed down in the hanger
reminds me of the destroyer captain who disobeyed Halseys order to leave area of typhoon and saved many lives of two destroyers that are overturned and sunk during the storm..i was on a cruiser in the pacific in 1971 and it gets hairy...
@iery68 I was on-board the USS Bauer, DE-1025 when we ran into a storm off the West coast, I was suppose to do gunnery practice on the AA 40mm at the fan-tail, It was scrubbed for bad weather, I recall the OJ dispenser in the Mess tilting a full 45% side to side. The mountains of water outside our vessel was quite a sight.
ive been on seas that big its a ride and you cant think about it you have to roll with the ship and learn to stand up all over again its not a reguler sea its so rough you dont have time to be seasick and if you do get seasick youll be glad you did the other option is passing out and not good to do in that kinda sea you could be washed overboard before anyone knows your missing they would never find you with seas that big i love this video its so awesome
Why aren't ships that go through these sea's more square shaped? Or why don't they have some extendible pontoon type things on the sides to keep them from flipping?
