13 Comments on The Sea Was Angry That Day, My Friends
I didn’t see any wave on No.6 and I watched that one a couple of times. š

Pfft. You call those waves?

Stomach-churning.
1. The Edmund Fitzgerald (speculation) sunk due to the rhythm of the waves, when it hit one, the nose went back down, and kept going. That’s why were was never any distress call.
2. How do sea creatures surface for air when it is so wild like that?

young surfer about 8′ is the biggest I

I think it’s the second one — rollers — that everyone talks about off Westport — that causes everyone to lose that big fisherman breakfast they just had before leaving port for a day of salmon fishing.

I read a article a few months ago based on audio taken from a sunken freighter. It’s a bit dramatized but a terrifying read.

Iām hoping for a Red Wave about like that.

Mithrandir – We can get storms here on the great lakes that can rival those on the oceans. Many a ship have been lost on these lakes. Until you have seen them first hand (the lakes) you can’t imagine how vast they are. Worth the visit to anyone that hasn’t. I particularly recommend Lake Superior and Lake Huron.

Encountered forty-foot waves on a ferry crossing the twenty-mile strait between Stranraer, UK, and Belfast. The sudden narrowing of the Gulfstream causes it.
Had not yet eaten so did not vomit. Other tourists not so lucky.

@Different Tim: The wife and I spend every September on the shore of Lake Erie. The waves during high wind events are awesome, and the pounding noise is a great tranquilizer… we sleep like logs up there. It always amazes me how Erie can turn from a placid sheet of water into a raging monster overnight. I’m still hoping to photograph a waterspout there someday.

Where I live when you turn on the faucet, Lake Huron comes out. ( After going through the Water Filtration Plant)

We rode out a typhoon on board the USS Kitty Hawk CV63 in the Spring of 1974 in the S. China Sea between Hong Kong and The Philippines. It took about a week and we experienced waves of at least 50-80 ft. high, everything was shut down and no one was allowed on the flight deck except in an emergency unless they were tethered to a rope and all the planes and helicopters were jammed into the hangar bay with all the hangar bay doors closed, the only planes left on deck were the big E2-C Hawkeyes (AWAC’s) and they were tied down with hurricane chains. It was a rough week for us on a carrier but the poor guys on the destroyers got tossed around up and down a lot, thank God I wasn’t on a tin can like they were.
