Rough Seas in the North Atlantic

[@Dr.Pepper001]

In 1966, I left San Diego along with 800 other Marines on the USS Simon B Buckner bound for Southeast Asia. The Buckner was a 9,646 ton troop transport used primarily to transport US military to and from the wars in Korea and Vietnam. In route to the intermediary stop in Okinawa, we encountered a typhoon. Even though the Captain routed the ship around the storm, we still hit seas as rough or more so than those in your video. Not only did we Marines onboard get terribly seasick, but even several of the seasoned Sailors were heaving as well. There is no worse feeling than seasickness. Well, maybe a really long hangover.

[@jefferyb.3406]

Thank you very much for your comment and I am very fortunate that I have never been seasick or even close

[@drcdrdoct9864]

On an aircraft carrier, we went through several typhoons where we had waves crashing up on the flight deck. You quickly learn who is a sailor and who isn't on those days.

[@mr1derful74]

I could seriously watch this stuff for hours... Wish you guys had a constant live stream video on board.

[@dickyknees4123]

Brings back my seadays on the north Atlantic in the mid 1970,s on much smaller container ships. One voyage was so rough we actually travelled backwards in a 24 hour period. Literally.

[@purdybill]

Sailed on tankers and we did the same one going into the weather. Our sister running with the storm coming back from Europe was making good time.

[@TheAfterWorkGarage]

Great video! Thanks for just letting the camera roll so we can enjoy the ship and the ocean. Also thanks for not adding music. The video is plenty 'epic' enough on its own.

And so u all know there is still crew checking those containers even when the seas are rough. Big respect

[@frankirwin2377]

After you pointed out the Stabilizer fins on your check rounds, I checked out some pictures of this apparatus on some container ships. They look like an awesome addition for rough seas. Having ridden on a troop ship through the Pacific to the Far East I can imagine the help it gives to any ship in stormy seas. Also the ability for them to tuck into the ship when they weren't needed. Thanks for showing.

[@beagle7622]

I have worked in a company that lost 2 containers once due to bad weather . It is remarkable they don’t lose a lot more.

[@JeffOnboard]

So true it till amazes me too sometimes.

[@gtgene]

After your onboard footage of the Maersk Container ship, I was about to ask what it's like going through a storm in one of these oceangoing vessels, and now I have my answer. An airliner may pick up turbulence, but going at 400-600 mph you are usually out of the area in minutes, not so much plowing through stormy seas at 12-20 kts. No pit stops between Europe and North America.

[@Roc-Righteous]

Majestic, that beast is sailing on.

[@djkulp1]

took a cruise a fair number of years ago ... the ship was caught the first night out with violent thunder storms. My group, which consisted of my wife, my 2 boys and myself, plus we teamed up with a divorced woman and her 2 boys. The only ones of this group to not be sick during the entire first day was my younger boy and myself. We had a blast ... just about an empty ship, with every passenger seeking shelter in their cabins.

[@lauramacpheephoto]

Hey, I'm a Longshoreman in Halifax (lashing force). It's really interesting to see what happens on the inside of these ships, the quarters, daily life, etc. Cool stuff.

[@HyperActive7]

The north Atlantic during winter can be some of the most turbulent waters anywhere in the world. These visitors who go on your ships are really lucky they don't have to experience what it is like to be in turbulent winter nor easters.

Hi Matt and Jeff. Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing! I was on a scientific research cruise to the MIZ in the Sub-Antarctica region last year. We experienced sea state of Beaufort 8 in the roaring 40's. Very exciting, but quite terrifying the first time!

[@ronstar7027]

I am guessing that the containers are all arranged on board according to exact net weight, so as to keep everything balanced.

[@gigiwan3335]

Ron Star im pretty sure they are all attached in away to form one block of containers but its amazing that big ships could resist such impacts

[@bradbasham]

They are loaded as to where they are going, and when they’re coming off.

[@rtp3962]

They are also arranged as to what they have on their manifest. Flammable and explosives are in areas with containment capabilities and refer units are close together so they can be monitored. Much thought goes into heavies going in lower in the hold to lower the center of gravity.

[@ghpjerry]

The amazing force of water is mind blowing...Mother Nature is a beautiful, yet scary thing, much like women in general. lol

[@chineechik]

I was on a cruise ship one time with a forward berth in heavy seas. You could feel the bow lift up and then slam down with a huge boom. Went on for 12 hours. Oddly, this was between San Francisco and l.a. in early May.

[@Rainmakers84]

Would make great footage for Aanco windshield wiper commercial.

[@veronicawoodard5925]

It's. Amazing on are side to watch the waves actually it's awful dangerous when you all out there in the storm God Bless you all on your Journey.

[@oljawbone000]

Can you get much work in the engine room done when seas are rough like this? Is it business as usual or do work schedules/agendas have to change?

[@JeffOnboard]

Just another day but yes you have to be more careful and take your time a little bit more but other than that it's a normal routine day😎⚓️🚢🐳🐋

[@Quanuck]

FYI, the cell phone is focusing on the water drops, hold it closer to the glass so the cell camera will focus on the exterior when raining, try it out. Also, use Rain-X, the water will bead up much better.

[@JeffOnboard]

Well that was the best I could do and those sea conditions it's hard enough to stand up much less try to record something I did the best I could

[@JeffOnboard]

[@suzannetaylor5374]

Very Good Video!!I just read a book about the El Faro disaster and was trying to picture the seas.Was not north Atlantic of course but the churning waves give me a starting point.

[@thebrooklyndon]

Yes, the El Farro was a sad time for us Merchant Mariners. I had a number of friends that were aboard when she went down. About a year ago while I was on a different ship I acquired a copy of the transcript of the Wheelhouse recorder (I don’t know the actual name of it, but on the bridge in all ships there is an audio recording system that is recording everything that is being said). It was so sad reading the last conversations that they had. Reading what they were saying, knowing that their ship was going down. They were terrified! It was so heartbreaking!! I cried like a baby while I was reading the transcripts. God bless the crew of the El Farro......

[@davidschick6951]

How often do containers fall overboard? I know about the lashings and the twistlocks but I imagine it happens.

[@archieallaway6718]

Usually they're chained down heavily,as well as weighing a ton already. It does happen but less often than you would think

[@LinuxGalore]

should do a video of the ship flexing when looking down the long access walkways from stern to the bow during a storm.

[@JeffOnboard]

I will when it happens sure 100% I showed it in 1 of my videos but I will again for sure

[@tackyman2011]

Back in those days, you sailed in sight of land when possible, unless you REALLY knew where you were going. When the weather turned bad, you beached and waited it out. When the tide or wind was unfavorable, you waited until it changed. Or you rowed. You also beached at night. You tried to always play it safe.Still had lots of wrecks and loss of life. If you were looking for Greenland, well, you might take more chances.

@@harpoon_bakery162 no exaggeration! We took sea water down the stack and doused the boiler and went dead-in-the-water...which is VERY dangerous. Couldn't steer. We bobbed like a cork. We ate bologna sandwiches for 12 days because it was too rough to cook. Captain said it was the worst storm he had seen in his 34 years in the Navy! That was after he got tossed across the bridge and knocked out and broke his arm! It was one for the books!

If we went through 15 or 17 meter waves at Sea they would probably damaged the ship
