Cape Hope Perfect Storm 

The best video I saw on Cape Hope, where I have been. Thank you

Sailed through this area many times as an engineer on tankers in late 1960s and after all these years I can still feel the hellish vibration as the screw would lift out the water and the unloaded engine race!

I was lucky to have transited successfully through the cape of good hope twice . It’s a experience ill never forget!

Great impressive footage! Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.

Looks familiar, rounded this Cape in 71 aboard a destroyer. We usually liked gentle following seas, not these big rollers for sure. Cold cut and peanut butter sandwiches for 2 days.

That is a very rough crossing in a following sea, very hard to do. Huge waves breaking over the stern is a big worry. I've lost rudder control in similar conditions. Thank God for a gain screw vessel of it would have been sideways to the seas and all the hell that brings.

Down right awsome footage but Im Curious??😉😎👍 I see a massive cylinder way at the stern, is this my first view of a gas fueled vessel, most modern large gas fueled vessels have a large dedicated gas cylinder placed way back at the stern, or is the cylinder used only for the purpose of controlling the cargo

That’s one way to take the trash out.

Before cape of no hope...after Vasco Da Gama successful thru to Goa & Cochin then was changed to cape of good hope

That last wave was insane !!

Were those dustbin bags full of rubbish that got washed overboard? If so, why were they stored on deck?

That's how you get rid of the trash

The trash is in a flat sided steel container. Wave crushed the side in and ripped it from the ship.

the sea was angry that day my friends

I guess that’s one way of getting rid of the trash

I went through this area in 2007 with RMN warship kd sri inderapura .. very scary, very big wave impact. very dangerous

Are those penguins in the water?!

Is that east meeting west waves ? Amazing...

The flying dutch 😢😢

Those were bags of loot from the previous port’s bank robbery. Oh well, easy come, easy go. There’s a new port in 5 more days.

what was all the guff that got washed overboard?

Louzy stowage!

This was awesome to watch but what's with those trash bags??

I imagine that whomever took this video, and felt that awesome roar of the open ocean...can't not believe in some sort of God.

Those poor bags! @00:38

fuck me, thats a 100' wave!!

Wow!,

đẹp một cách đáng sợ

Littering I see

Trash bags should be thrown by someone , sea helps and throw out by himself thanks of lot

ياربي اسلاام لبحر صعيب

dude trying to talk and be heard on camera 0 god. 1

You mess up the nature and sea.

Did ya'll really need to dump LITERAL trash in the ocean, just because no one could be assed to tie that stuff down?
