Seeing the ship flex like that is amazing.

"50% accurate, only 50% of the time." Is a phrase i'm definitely able to use at my job-thanks!

Everybody gangsta until the ship starts moving as a train

Most impressive was seeing the ship flex. Scary. Saved by good engineering.

I'd never seen a maritime video with excellent production quality that gives insider access! This is beautiful, Jeff! 😍

Great cinematography! And it's amazing to something from real life on RU-vid instead of multi millionaires playing with their expensive toys...

I am not sure if sailors are really brave or really crazy. Either way, sailors have my deepest respect. Thank you for all you do!

As an engineering student seeing the ship being flexed by the forces of the mightiest element of them all is so unbelievably satisfying. Its amazing how flexible steel really is and how flexible it has to be, because it all wouldn’t work if not. Very fascinating video 💪

Your content is so underrated! Awesome work!

My whole family was in the Navy USA. Most of my relatives also. I'm the only male who went into the Army instead. When I was released from the military and after college the job market tanked. I finally got a job working for the Navy Refueling Nuclear Submarines. I did that until they closed the Shipyard. Now I'm driving an 18 wheeler. I really like your videos. Thanks for putting them up.

People should remember that a huge ship like this one needs to flex, otherwise the ship would succumb to extreme structural failure, which would prove to be catastrophic.

The flexing of the corridor just blew my mind.

I love your videos. An interresting inside view of the job.

This is why I love RU-vid. As it keeps growing and growing it's becoming a lot more accepted to a lot of people and we get to see different peoples perspectives like this. Love your channel bro. Keep it up

This is by far one of the best videos that I have seen made by a person on youtube. The editing, angles, descriptions, narration, and content. The view of the ship flexing under stress is outstanding. Great work, keep it up.

Man, this video can make us feel and imagine how cool, but also how hard life at sea can be. Congratulations!

I will never look at a huge ship the same way again

You are really a talented movie maker. I am totally impressed.

I actually enjoy when it becomes bad weather, always tests the ship and makes the rest of the voyage more comforting

I work at the port driving tow trucks for containers. Thanks for showing the inside of the ship which I never get to see.

Best vlog channel I have seen

I dont know what your ship is like but you can occasionally hang cots from the ceiling and lay on them, sconce they are free to sway they will move less than the boat and in a more stable manner, easier to rest...

When I was 6, my parents and I travelled across the South Pacific on a cargo ship like yours. It was March, so peak cyclone season and we caught the back end of one cyclone and the front of another that had been vicious enough to wipe out the wharf in Apia, Samoa. I remember going up the bridge with my Dad and him picking me up to see over the dash and it was a lot like the view in this video with dark skies and the waves crashing over the hull. The sound of cyclonic winds out on the open ocean with nothing break the gusts is one of most terrifying noises on earth, paired with the hull creaking and popping and boat tilting up to 15 degrees either way. Great video man, love this channel 👍🏻👍🏻

This is amazing! Thank you for capturing it and allowing land lovers like me to see it. thanks

That timelapse at the end 😍

Awesome video Jeff 👍🏻 def showcases what it's like in a storm thanks :D

I’m totally binge watching all your vids right now - awesome channel! For someone who has always been anxious whenever I’m on anywater vessel, the idea of having to endure that “never ending pitch and roll” for days is terrifying! I’m amazed how you and every other mariner in the world survives that. Hats off to all of you! 👍

I was a sailor in 1987 before Canada Halifax We encountered a storm level 12 (you probably know what it is) We lost 15 containers and inside the ship many damages

Wow. Great footage of the ship flexing. Thanks. Love the videos!

Very interesting, thanks for the insights. The view along the inner rows is insane ... looks like it's made of rubber :)

The hull flex was incredible. Stay safe and keep up the great videos!

3:46 WHAT!?!??! Im literally mind blown..... thats crazy how much it bends

amazing vid! I've learned more aboit ships in the last few days, after I found your channel, than I have in my lifetime. Thank you

i was a cadet , did my 7 months at sea , left it now am an practicing doctor , but i can't forget the feeling being in the sea

I learned and trained to become an industrial mechanic on a shipyard, now I study engineering, I suspected for a long time that ships were far more flexible than they looked rigid. Those are some great shots showing prime examples of this, thanks!

Watching your ship bounce up and down in the waves is so soothing. I wish you included more storm footage.

Very enjoyable viewing. I’ll never have the opportunity to sail on a ship of this size, to see what happens is great. Thank you for showing us your experiences aboard a container ship and what it takes to make it all work Jack in Missouri USA.

Your productions are incredible. Some of the best work I have seen. The videography, the editing, it all works. As for crossing the Atlantic under heavy weather conditions found it to be quite relaxing, at least on a bigger ship. I did it once on an aircraft carrier (USS Enterprise), and then on a cruiser (USS Gettysburg). The rolls were nice and slow on the carrier. It really put me to sleep. On a cruiser, though.....

I love seeing the everyday life stuff aboard a ship like this. And seeing down those long hallways as the ship flexes definitely gives one a newfound respect for the people who engineer and build these massive boats. Thanx again for sharing.

One of the best professional seafarers storm report I have seen. Thanks for showing your cinematography without any additional drama. Sail well !!

At 4:26, attractive scene. Dad was in Navy and has told of storms of various strengths. also told of being in well deck of their LST and observing the same flexing.

Looking at the ship bending one could easily think you're on a train

Brings back tons of memories from my 8 years at sea in the USN. thanks for the very fond look back at my time at sea. Loved it so much!!

I have watched this video 100s of times and never got bored. Narration, cinematography, music is simply awesome.

i’d still watch this even if i wasn’t in quarantine

When the ship flexes it is not succumbing to the sea. They are built with flex joints so the hard brittle steel doesn't bend and break. It is supposed to flex.

As a geographer, I love this. Great resource for teaching about weather, ocean currents, and much more.

Wow, the huge ship bends as if it's a train. Amazing.

Jeff: “yep these waves aren’t dangerous for us.” me: *boat shakes* “well it was a great life and I accept my death here on this boat”

That ship was flexing more than me at the gym in front of a mirror. 😆

I swear it looks just like you are inside a large train Bending left than right, than back again, it truly is amazing.

Commonsense would say ships like yours would flex like that but how amazing to actually see the corridors doing it. I never thought that until I saw it.

once again, great video.. Great editing

The sea looked dangerously beautiful. Thanks for the video Sir............................................ & like always Thumbs Up :D

This channel should legit have AT LEAST 5 million subscribers. Such an undiscovered gem of a channel, this is.

4:00 I didn't know that the whole ship is moving i thought a ship is stiff.. very impressive!

Me and my family were on a ferry crossing the golf of St Lawrence, and when me and my brother were in bed we felt we were floating on the crests and slid down the bed when we listed to port.

Thanks! you are the best!

Wow, it's not until he walks (and walks and walks) through it that you get a sense of how long that corridor really is!

I am not sure why this popped up on my feed. I am sure glad it did. Excellent in every way!! Your narration is soothing and scenery is amazing!

what kind of rotation you typically do?? 3 months? 6 months?? how long do you take off?? thanks

Everyone gangsta until somali pirate started climbing the ship

I loved the shot of the flex in the passageways. That took me back to when i was a US Marine headed Into the Persian gulf. I was aboard the USNS Flint. Old ammunition ship, Kilauea Class. That thing flexed well. Not exactly a comfort inspiring thing to see on an ammunition stores ship. Good times though.

You guys are so lucky! That would have been my dream job, I don’t not gotten sick with Crohn’s disease and cancer. I spent my entire life on or near the water. As a kid I spent three months of every year in the summer at my cottage, most of that time I was on the water or in the water, I love it so much that I decided to become a sea captain, but just as I was starting university to study for it I got sick, and from the age of 20 until now that I’m 51, I’ve spent the last 31 years in the hospital, well, in the hospital more than I was at home at least, destroying my chance to ever pursue my dream job of being captain of a ship that big. It’s the type of thing where either you love it or you hate it but there is no in between, and I loved it, I loved it so much, I just imagine how many voyages around the world I could have been on already if it wasn’t for this damn cancer that has taken my entire adult life from me, along with all of my dreams and goals. Sorry, but every time I watch a video like this a flood of wonderful memories come rushing back, and then I get pissed off because I wasn’t give me the chance to fulfil my dreams, and now that I live on permanent long-term disability, even though I desperately want to, who would hire me? Who would allow me the opportunity to Captain a vessel that big? I suppose it’s just a pipe dream now, but it’s one that I stubbornly hang onto. But whoever shot this video, if you are indeed a member of the crew you have no idea how lucky you are, I would literally give everything I had for the opportunity of heading up command of a vessel like that. It gets to a point where the sea becomes your home, and you can instinctually feel the weather long before any meteorologists can tell you what the weathers going to be. It’s such a wonderful Feeling to be out on the water and free, there’s no words to describe just how incredible that feels, I just pray to God that before I die I get the opportunity to go on at least one cruise, especially now that I’m done having surgery because there’s nothing left to operate on, thanks for the video, and just be so thankful to have what you do

You can observe the clockwise motion of the stars in the time lapse at the last.

Tall ship sailor here, days aboard a tall ship under sail. We has hammocks rigged below, don't need to worry about pitch and roll with hammocks. Hell, it's actually relaxing to have the ship rock you to sleep.

Respect to the people who design and build these ships. Standing against mother nature is not an easy thing to achieve.

goodluck human at sea~

awesome ... finally i find a vlogger from my species , haha keep making more awesome video !!!

I've hit some deep sea storms before and its such a fun ride. the big swells, water spurts all over the show, so glad I have experienced ocean storms. Its like on of those things you need to put on your bucket list. hold onto something in wheel house and enjoy the ride.

I'll never see ships like this in the same way again! I love seeing a new POV.

Make more timelapse from single point pleaese. You content is amazing.

I'm lucky, that I could find this channel

Is there an award for high quality RU-vid vids ? You deserve it for your consistent quality . Take a bow :-)

Thanks for the great interior shot of the flex....used this video to educate my 11 year old about the limitation of structural materials.

Wow I work for Maersk and I would much rather be on a vessel then in the office

keep up the good work jeff.. from fellow third mate.

back in early 70's, did a few years on a 95' midwater boat, southern california, southern oregon, a couple deliveries on 80 - 95' fishing boats from yards in Florida and Alabama through panama to LA, hard to keep a camera operating in the salt water environment, awesome to see your vessel flex in big waves, thanks for the time lapse ocean crossing vid. keep up the good work.

Thank you for your videos. For some reason, they always make me feel so calm. The flex of the ship is understandable, but still amazing to see.

3:46 Flexing is amazing

You got me to subscriber with this video. your shots and editing are very impressive. thanks for sharing.

the way that bends is one of the coolest things i have ever seen

It's amazing how these ships just don't break apart.

Me: Those ships a freaking huge and are so strong. Mother Nature: Hold my beer. Even sitting here, just watching that ship flex and the size of the waves made me feel so small.

because tough sailors aren't created from calm seas

I've seen lots of "ships in bad weather" video. I've NEVER seen a shot like yours shooting up the length of the interior, showing the flex. That was very cool!

I live onboard a 4500 GT crew vessel whilst working on offshore wind-farms. I never use to cope with seasickness long, but when you have no option to endure countless days of persistent rocking, swaying dropping... it kind of cures you

Main song?? Love this video, the sea is so impressive

Simply the best.... I love ur vdeos brthr, seeing ur vdeos is really an unique experience, seriously u're awesome bro, ur cinematography, that background music what u edit in ur vdeos are out of the world.... Seriously I love them, I really appreciate ur work brthr...... Keep up the good work nd always keep smiling

Had no idea a massive ship like that would flex so much. The designers knew what they were doing. Another great video Jeff-thank you!

Seeing the ship flex like that is so cool! I guess it isn't surprising but thank you so much for showing and demonstrating it the way that you did!

Would be interesting to hear her creek under the stress. Or is it to settle to catch on video? Nice work by the way. Thank you for all the insight.

Awesome video. Scary stuff !!!!! Keep floating bro.

I love watching the pilot boat go out to big ships in Lewes Delaware to take them up the Delaware river in USA. Safe travels!

Blows my mind how vividly you can see the galaxy, I wish it looked like that in real life.

wowwww...... awsome video jeff

Awesome footage around the 4" mark. Engineer porn. Keep up the good work mate.

This made my respect for sailors go up 100% and my desire to board a ship go down 100%.

I didn't know a ship like this can flex so much. Amazing
