Rock and roll ship
Though I have been out of it for a few yeare a mate sent me these pics of the Dampier out of Port Hedland the same weather I experianced many times and believe me it tends to make you sleep in your life jacket

With all due respect. F*** that.
Is the ship empty? Or would it be carrying a load and therefore more susceptible to that sort of craziness!!
The wave in that fourth photo would have to be 5 to 6 metres over the deck!!There was a young boy called Wyatt
Who was awfully quiet
And then one day
He faded away
Because he overused White

Hey Ashore, are you guys freaken nuts?
Sleeping in your life jacket somewhat implies you actually slept during weather like that.
If I were there I don't think sleeping would be possible due to sheer terror!

In the 1920's my Dad was a wireless operator in the Merchant Marine, plying the New York to San Francisco run. Wireless operators were admitted to be crazy - after all, who could understand all that dits and dahs stuff; and they changed frequencies with alligator clips on a coil carrying about a jillion volts. Didn't call them "Sparks" for nothing. Anyway, once in a storm somewhat like this one, he had a lark sort of body surfing by holding on to the upwater rail. Lost his grip and was washed over to the other rail, where he was captured the WRONG way.
Luckily, they were near San Francisco, where he got everything repaired; otherwise, I wouldn't be here - or anywhere else either.

G'day Ashore,
Not really sure what's happening - I had the same pix sent to me as being the "Selkirk Settler" and that the pix were actually taken on Lake Superior.
The email was sent to me as an example similar to the "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"
Regards,
Bob
