Now THAT was a wave.
Sea waves generated by storms are wayyyy more dangerous to ships than tsunamis.
My Icebreaker, the Polar Sea, got into some of that winter gulf of Alaska crap on a particular crossing that I remember. Picture a 400ft ship diving into an 80ft face on a breaking wave. I'm a boot-seaman standing lookout watch on the flying bridge, at about 80 feet above the waterline... when I see this big-assed-wall-o-water coming... and I shout down the voice-tube "Ohhh... shh###... hang on!!!"
And just about then a whole lotta GREEN water comes flowing over the top the bridge...
The funny thing was... they sent the bos'n of the watch climbing up the ladder to see if we were still onboard. I had a deathgrip on a post at one of the railings. No way was I gonna let go of that. :-)
Lots of times those are a man's last words... You're gonna have to think up something new to say now.
