Storm in north atlantic

Storm in north atlantic on january 2005. On board M/T Cap Diamant, lenght=274m, beam=52m, DWT=160044T. The bridge deck is 28 meter high and the wave was higher than me. The film has been made from the bridge deck so the wave height was about 30m.

what latitude do you cross the atlantic at in the winter when leaving Quebec?

@burfox We was about 55-60 north during this storm. South of Iceland.

last 2 waves must be atleast 90 ft

[DJBouc]

Every 2-3 minutes the waves was this high. About 90-100ft on my estimation. We was lucky that the waves was comming from the aft because from the head, the ship will have get many dammage.

Favorite "Storm" Video on Youtube....Simply Amazing and excellent camera work. If you have any more vids, I'd love to see them. Thanks!!!

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I do not have more video from this storm. Only on my "old style" video camera

Good grief. We don't give the sailors of the 16th and 17th century enough credit for having to put up with this.

@7amanyation just because its 30m it doesnt make it a tsunami, do your homework on tsunamis ya plonker

[7amanyation]

it's an exaggeration when u wrote that the waves reached 30m ..

because 30 meters mean tsunami !!

and u saw the waves higher than the ship's bridge because of the ships ship's inclinations..

I have my biggest respect to Vikings who sailed in storms like this in their flimsy wooden boats.
