Looks like a normal winter storm on Lake Superior or a late winter storm out of the south when you are on northern Lake Michigan (gives the seas time to build). Been in 2 hurricanes on a 210ft ship. and winter storm on a 140ft ice breaker. I'll take the hurricane anyday.

I've seen this while serving aboard the USS Guam LPH-9. Waves so big they crashed over the bow which was about 70ft above the water line. It washed the catwalks off the front 1/4 of the flight deck. I could see the ship twisting looking down the hangar bay. The power of the ocean is incredible. I definitely made my peace with God on that ocean crossing.

I was a crewman on a 74ft schooner in the Pacific back in 1985 . We got caught in a massive storm that hit us late afternoon and raged all night . I’ll never forget the sight of those huge swells , it was as if the sea was a living beast and we got hammered that night. By sunrise the storm had passed and the sea was so calm that it looked like glass, the sea is not something that you take for granted.

Pictures of waves are useless without a known object in the picture. Could be 5 feet could be 100 ft.

But when I developed them, yeah, not so much

[@leonardmilcin7798]

You can tell the size of the waves from the time it takes. Larger waves take more time crest to crest. But I guess it takes a bit of experience which most people don't have.

[@carlquance2542]

I’ve been in a couple huge storms aboard the Queen Mary 2 in the Atlantic and also the Mediterranean. One was 1.5 days of 35 foot waves, all decks closed. The other a function of some nasty mistral winds, ports of call canceled, and a very near wreck in Civitavecchia , Italy ( that was a strong wind that snapped four docking ropes and dumped the platforms during boarding).
