I've used an anchor like that on a small boat, but I'm glad I wasn't on the bridge of that ship. Full marks to the amazing skill of that crew.

Wow!

Man had two bow thrusters and still used the anchor. The sea was wild that day my friends.

This is like the Jack Sparrow move against Salazar! 😂

I saw this video by chance. I was RO for three trips to Canada and the Lakes in 1964 and ironically left the ship 60yrs ago today. Andy Dougall signed my discharge. Great memories of the ship and how lively she was!!

The guy in the bow throwing the line ashore in the last three seconds had ONE JOB to perfect the evolution and fkt it up. Take another look

To you Captain and your whole crew WELL DONE

the sinking of PAMIR is one of the biggest catastrophies of after the war Germany. I remember the sad feelings very well, beeing a boy of 15 years then. It's perhaps worth to know that there are still two sisterships can be visited in Germany. 1.) PASSAT in the city of Travemünde at the baltic coast. 2.) PEKING after a complete restauration recently in the city of Hamburg. PEKING is now luckily home at her home- town, beeing abroad at various stations in the world.

My mum myself and my brother emigrated /sailed from Liverpool to Canada my dad flew over 6 months before to secure a job and a house ...my mum got homesick so after 5 years we returned on Carinthia I remember we were in a bad storm 3 days had to have our meals in the cabin mum had seasickness injections and I had sickness tablets ..my dad and brother flew back B.o.a.c. I still have the flight tickets my late mum saved...from 1966 ...Great memories my dad worked in the goldmines in South porcupine..we lived in a few places including Timmins

ah 2020, the time when we could have boat videos with sound instead of that annoying yooooo hooooo song

Interesting video. Thank you for this

Yes. Amazing!

Glad to see this original post again.. This clip is circulating on " 10 worst nautical fails" type click bait sites.. which is wrong. Masterful boat handling.

Nice video , cheers for the trip down memory lane 👍

Em preso manter

Top of the pop captain 🙂

why is shit like this always at eleven? post a video from psych and it's all whispers..

Wow

Can I have the pictures remain on the screen for longer.

mooring boys down on pier were terrified

Interesting to see all the scenery I left in 1972 for Canada with hubby 3 year old 5 year old kids missed it a lot at first mostly my family went back a lot while my parents were alive but you do what’s the best for your children thing look really peaceful now keep it that way life is too short

A superb display of ship handling.

Somebody put the Dr Dre tune over this and the Thug Shades on the Bridge

Thankyou ! RIP my great grandfather pvt William James Allen 36th Ulster division

Bet that anchor left abit of a trail

did a trip on her in 96 out of Westport with Fred Fishburne and the Butcher set netting for seal shark livers. what a beautiful vessel ! saw her parked up years later in Tauranga having apparently been involved in the Rena salvage...

Fascinating, thank you.

Well done! How hard was it blowing?

If you ever tried yourself to swim in 3 meter waves. Just imagine the amount of technology displayed in this video. From metal ore mining to digital engine control. This is ode to human intelligence.

Amazing well done boys

Hardly seems worth it.

The listing is just because of wind? o.o

Bravo Captain and crew.

Sauber! Bitte ohne Ton...

Thank you for all your words, I’m the first mate and our captain did a fine job that day!

When 600 people all agreed to their loved ones to do whatever it takes to get home safely and accomplish the mission. This is what it takes to be a sailor.

and THAT is how you parallel park!

Barely any wind. Amazing work

Fine seamen 😂

Absolutely stunning level of skill there from the captain. The two dockside workers needed a bit of coaxing to finally interact with the tie ropes :)

Amazing job! Reminds me of when i was living/working on the Isla of Skye, (Scotland, uk) when the ferry was still running. The conditions that they sailed in were incredible! They'd point the boat diagonally from it's destination, and let the wind blow it to the ferry port! It never failed to amaze me how accurate they were. I have great respect for these guys and gals that work on these ferries, in all weathers.

Been there (literarily) done that with my 31ft sailboat... Problem is after parking like that with the help of the wind is that you are pinned to the dock and can not get moving again. I had to do it to fill fuel as I had to go out to sea to save the boat from the storm as there was no safe place to stay in the harbor (all the safe sports was taken). After struggling for a long while to get out from the dock I finally made it and as I was going out at the open sea I meat the rescue boat coming in, they must have been thinking I was crazy going out at sea in that wind lol. When I finally was out on the open ocean it was not that bad and I had a 8 hour ride against wind and waves running on engine only straight against the wind before I was into my home harbor where it was safe.

When ship is listing so hard that you can scoop water from the sea with your hand to wash sweat away from your face while wrestling on bridge, then its challenging..

When you can do it, you can do it

Good to see where my father grew up and how people were living there 100 years ago.

Did he just use his anchor to hand brake slide into dock ????

They call this "a normal day" in Norway.

Well done!

Hell of an anchor set. Then docking fighting the wind. Salute!

Tremendous work, Captain. Much appreciated, from a former maritime engineer who had to design the structures that you berth against. Brilliant job, crew.
