Sailing ships could not travel against the waves in the same way. Going downwind would have been terrifying all the same. Bare pole in these conditions.
Remember those old ships back on 1500's. Without any modern technologies.. Think about those old generation sailors courage, determination, skill..., above all that Iron hearts..!
This should be in 1080 or 4k! I wanna feel like I'm really there. Reminds me of working on the long-line cod boats in the Bering Sea but we only encountered 18 foot waves. These are over 3x times that!
It's not a nervous laugh the vessel is designed to go in these oceans and can survive higher sea states than that of which is in the video. You steer into the waves or swell and that is why you get it smashing over the foc'sle of the vessel. I use to laugh at it as well not because I was nervous or that it was scary because it was exciting. Man vs the ocean... again the ship was in no danger.
use to get these all the time when i was in the navy capt. use to love going into storms and people walking on the walls. and we were over 50ft above the water and wave crash over the deck.
If you loved to sail your ship into a big storm you must have been truly hated by your crew. No one sails into a flying storm just for the fun of it. In fact, I don't believe a single word of what you are saying, son. That's wannabe fantasy talk.
For people wondering why they are laughing and sound so calm, this is a military-grade vessel from New Zealand. A storm like this won't even leave a dent, considering it's designed to handle not just poor weather, but war.
Who gives a crap what is was recorded on, 360P or 10P.. Give them a break. That was awesome!! You guys are the best and what ever you do thank you for you're service.
Evinrudes on a scarab in the gulf of mexico. That moment when gravity hits and starts pulling the boat out of the air and right into your next 'how many screws came out on that one' wave is far more thrilling than this glass case of emotion.
Ernest Shackleton was forced to traverse about 200 miles from a spot on the Antarctic Peninsula to Elephant Island. As Elephant Isle is at 61° latitude, he would have to deal with these types of sea. After a long stopover, he needed to go from Elephant Island to New Georgia Island, which is at 54° Latitude. The Southern Ocean northermost boundary is 60°, after which the seas calm down considerably. So, about 20% of his voyage took place in a rowboat in these dangerous waters
What baffles me isn't so much the storm, but the fact that there is a southern ocean. In all my life growing up, from watching TV shows and learning geography in school, I never learned about there being a southern ocean. I never once heard about it until now... I know there was no ocean ever called the southern ocean...
It's a new concept. It's also not universally recognized. The idea is that the waters surrounding Antarctica up to 60 latitude are distinctly different from the waters of the other oceans in that they are colder. Moreover there is a distinct current that runs west to east all the way around Antarctica up to 60 South, almost like an oceanic river. Some think that's enuff to call it a separate Ocean
@@brianstark2219 Honestly it makes sense to me. As a kid, I used to look at the globe and how the oceans were labelled and kept thinking to myself "we're so full of shit. There is no way those waters south of South Africa and Australia could belong to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans."
The moments underwater made me audibly gasp and then cold my breath. It looked like it was all about to sink. Would probably think it did if not for the fact that it couldn’t have for somebody to have uploaded the video to RU-vid.
Wow that was hardcore... nervous laughter, followed by boat completely stopped, loss of steering, starting to get blown off the wind, then alarms... i think they stopped recording for a reason!
The ship was in no danager... and the alarms would not have lasted long as the vessel settled down after the wave... the rear of the ship, screws and rudder are back in the water... there is a longer version on the web somewhere. This is pretty normal activity I remember being there, back in the 80's on the frigates in similar conditions and every third wave hitting the bridge and having loss of steering for a fraction of time alarms going off the it would settle. They are steering into the waves which is the best thing you can do... they will be still moving forward but at a reduced speed... and the Officer of the Watch would have tried one or two different speeds to see which one is best for this particular storm, wind speed, Sea Condition and wave length etc... We use to laugh as well not out of nerveousness but out of dam that was a big bugger ... we knew there was no danger same as these saliors knew they were in no dangaer... if there was the atmosphere on the bridge would be totally different.
تذكرت قول الله تعالى في القرآن : ﴿وَهِيَ تَجري بِهِم في مَوجٍ كَالجِبالِ وَنادى نوحٌ ابنَهُ وَكانَ في مَعزِلٍ يا بُنَيَّ اركَب مَعَنا وَلا تَكُن مَعَ الكافِرينَ﴾ [هود: ٤٢]
This is how countries were discovered back in the day. Kinda scary knowing that they went through these type of storms while riding in less modern ships.
Even on a sizable ship like the HMNZS (P148) Otago, at 279ft 85M, wave height can become high enough to blow out bridge windows. Captain must make decision to quickly bring the boat about and run with the storm in a following sea. This has its own dangers.
Indeed, my first thought was "will the windows be blown blow out?" And yes, I have concerns that maoris had been sailing to antartica. In all respect...
lol it actually moved pushed the cannon upwards oO or is that intended so it doesnt break? PS all those people complain about 360p: get over it, its probably because of converting or something.
