Seriously scary and fair play to anyone out in seas like that - the slightest wave and I'd be :scared: :d

According to this PDF, that last picture "shows a capesize bulk carrier Selkirk Settler whose upper deck is being swamped by a huge wave crest in the mid north Atlantic in February 1987. Had she had normal strength hatch covers she would not have survived. That same storm sank two ships and severely damaged three others".
