Filmed during a heavy storm on the North Sea, between Norway and Scotland. The conditions were terrible, the views amazing! Waves of 20 mtr plus were recorded!
Fyi, the vessel is the Calamity Jane, an offshore support vessel. L.o.a. : 141 m or 463 ft.
I also respect and admire naval architects and other engineers that make these ships withstand such rough conditions.
Its been 10 years how are u doing
I spent almost ten years working on cargo vessels, good job and traveling a lot all over the world but no life, no birthdays, no Christmas with family. I survived two major accidents, a collision with another vessel and a fall on the deck hitting my back, unable to stand by I just rolled to a safety place with a lot of pain, almost one month later I started working normally again. Huge storms and huge waves, strong winds and solitude are part of a sailor job.
How are things going? Do you miss the sailor job? Do you now have a family?/
@@knowsmebyname sometimes l miss my sailor job, l don't wanna lie but right now l have a job in Dallas Texas with an insurance company and l feel good here. Yes, l have two kids, l got my divorce and now l am dating a Russian lady.
@@marcochavez11 hmmm this is just my opinion but dating a Russian lady is more dangerous than huge waves, huge storms, and strong winds, no? Hehe hope you are happy friend. That was a good post you started with.
@@knowsmebyname LOLOLOL 🤣

Now imagine it's 250 years ago and you're sailing in this in a small, wooden ship.
1. Those actually rode the swell better, and lacking mechanical propulsion would have sailed with the seas, not against, making the prespective totally different as well
It's a heck of a thought. It's also where my mind goes when I watch these. Running before the wind in mountainous seas in a creaking wooden ship powered only by sails. Terrifying.
Yes, and Grandma couldn't finish your pullover, because she was always drunk.
stfu
Respect to the people who have to go through this everyday, I would shit myself if I was in this situation.
I was thinking that before I even read your comment!
me too and that's because I like sea and everything related
Lovely
That's insane! Thanks for uploading this, it's definitely something I'd never see otherwise.....and even better- thanks for not adding annoying music!
Mind blowing to me that this has been around for 16yrs. I remember when youtube first came out
Truly awesome. Time passes, land appears and recedes, cultures and civilizations rise and change and fall- and the ocean is just like “that’s cute” and goes on doing its gorgeous terrifying primal thing.
Respect to you guys, many a time I have stood safely onboard giant Oil Platforms and watched boats like yours in these conditions and thought its a gonner just to see you resurface in what seems like minutes later. The video does not fully capture how really wild it can be out there.
Bloody scary, wondering with every big wave whether the the ship will hold together.
I'm so glad to be watching this from the comfort of my own home!
Wow... Those are monster waves! Thanks for posting the video.
This video of the stormy North Sea was uploaded before the Hoist the Colours craze was adopted to it. Wow.
lol at the guys in the background... "Wow!! haha!" pretty sure the boat is about to sink i would be scared
Look at all that water gathering up in the bow of the ship from the waves that keep hitting it omg!
17 years ago ? Dayyyuuummm why is this recommended 17 years later
i remember watching this in 2011 when i was kid, time fly so fast
I still remember being on that ship in this weather...
I like these moments in the ocean, may God protect all who travel in ocean.
Our love is like a ship on the ocean, it sails with a course of love and devotion🎶🎵🎵🎤🎶 rock the boat, dont rock the boat baby, rock the boat, dont tip the boat over
thats insane!!! must have been a fun ride
That looks so fun!
Captain: I need a volunteer to get out there and clean the windows Crew: (Crickets) Captain: Tobey, here's your bucket!!
It makes me appreciate how much guts it took to sail the oceans in wooden sailing ships.
Looks so fun!
Amazing!
I would be scared to death honestly
Question: The beep-thingy is a warning for high waves?
It’s for list angle I think
@@user-re9gj2zd5e Autopilot off course alarm
Thanx you friend
I would easily get sea sick, great capture on that
When I see this I think of my Viking ancestors
Get the ludes!!
no
NO.... THAT'S AN ORDER AND A FACT!
I still would love it out there! Scared crapless, loving it! Besides this would make up for the boring days!
that is a A class video!!! when the bip starts it's quite scary!!
0:33 a pool on the ship :D
I know, let's hope he read it as well ;)
Well filmed, my compliments to the helmsman.
I miss those rides in anchorage and also leaving sitka when worked for princess cruises....wahoooo !!
Holy shitters and critters and dithers and fritters.
that video before 10 years 😱
Wow, so much water comes up onto the foredeck! Hope it all gets out before the next big one!
On the ferry from Aberdeen to Shetland, I tried to sleep through a gale 9 storm.... without seat belts, lol. I didn't get any sleep though, was busy trying to stay in bed. But you're absolutely right, when you don't fall out of bed, this is awesome!
Nope, it's the Calamity Jane. I should know, I was on board ;)

"We're all going to die-weather" imo
Nature is so awesome
That just terrifies me! *shivers*
I wonder what the year 2029 is gonna be like
What if one fell, but they had a life jacket, would they still die?
yes. the water temp would kill you before rescue
Chanel Valentine You need to be more spesific, if its without being rescued ofcourse but if he gets rescued after a minute he could survive
with the conditions of the ocean in the video? I highly doubt they would survive. the current and waves would make it extremely hard, if not impossible, to rescue them. I don't think a life jacket would mean that much.
Wow ! I would get seasick instantly ! Respect !
wow.. that's amazing
No point in eating ...
there is a point, regurgitate it ready blended. no blender needed.
Most likely would have a heart attack and die.
If one falls then the propellers may suck him into them and cut him into pieces.
I miss that so much!
Amazing
What was bad about that? Seen bigger waves in my bath tub
You guys are brave!
it looks so incredible. It must have been a great day
Wow amazing
that is the best rollercoaster youve ever been on :D:
Amazing.
awesome!!!
wow, that's out of control.....would definitely be freaking out.
Amazing!!!Wave!!!
Could watch this for hours
this looks soooo friggen fun :D
Very thrilling!! Did that on the ice breaker USCG Polar Sea on our trips through the Bering Sea and a few other areas.
incredible
that's awesome.
It brings back memories . . . .
that looks sooo fun
Good video, thanks for sharing
You guys took that turbulance like champs (pardon my spelling)...it takes special stomaches and plenty of "no worries" type of folks to work or travel by sea. Thx for the upload.
Bravo!
That looks so fun :)
Same thing happened to me but a WHOLE LOT worse, I was on a 28 ft grady-white coming from the bahamas headed towards florida and that day could be the worst day of my life, we were navigating through 21 ft waves from stern, starbord, port, from all directions and we made it, that grady saved my life..
Ive been on a cruise in weather like this. Its freaking scary but its the most awesome experience
love the way the guy in the background just makes lol of the weather...
Feels good, man...
so stoked
That's a lot of water on the deck. Wow!
i like this work
I love how the guy just goes whoo when the giant wave hits
WOOOOW !!! Big pictures !!!
one person sounded like a sibling of me but when the first wave hit i said to myself that was epic!
realy impresive!
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR - INCREDIBLE
Miss those days.
this is nothing. oh i long back to the seas when i see this clip... this is freedom.. this is mother earth at her best...love it simply love it...
Ladies and gentlemen... The wirlpool on the front deck is now opened. This is one of the few clips on youtube where the title is an understatement!!
I appreciate there not being music just the sounds of the crew and mother nature.
And people are out there sailing solo in yachts out in this stuff !! Damn !!
The trenching support vessel Calamity Jane supports Solitaire, Audacia and Lorelay with activities such as pre and post route survey, crossing preparation and mattress installation, and operates as an independent unit with the mechanical trencher Digging Donald.
Don't forget there is always the ERRV (Emergency Response and Rescue Vessel) out in this weather too!
i love it :)
Somehow ended up in this section of youtube again! haha, started watching some clips of wildfires.. how i ended up here i'll never know. Usually end up on the lightening section of youtube! Guess it just goes to show, nature is unbeatable!!! epic stuff
That looks like fun, would probably get old after an hour or two though
No problem. We've had so many people mistake the bow for the stern and vice versa.
The trick is to go at a speed which is either slow enough to allow the vessel to gracefully descend into the wave hollows or to go fast enough to let her go from peak to peak. Any speed in between those two will just make her dive into the wave hollows too late - and then to crash bluntly into the next oncoming wave because the bow can't rise quick enough (it's still on its way down and inertia takes its toll). Furthermore, it means to burn fuel for nothing.
Love how all the persons on board seems like enjoying their stay. ;) Even though I'm a sailor (in a sailboat though) I would hate to be out in those watherconditions. lol
Welcome to our beautiful Ocean Planet, enjoy the storms and calm.
It sure is beautiful!
OMG! SO COOL...
No lie: the movie Perfect Storm would pop in my head...no lie: this would make me cry. o.0
