I think that this pic should be titled "Rescue at sea" rather than NORWEGIAN GEM, cause there is not any part of the said ship showing,could have been shot from any other vessel.Photos with just small parts of the ships showing have been deleted by the administration.
The title plus the photo as here depicted suggests that the NORWEGIAN GEM was the vessel in jeopardy.
regards and happy Xmas to all.

Finn
we call them WAFI,s in Florida, Wind Assited F.....g Idiots

correct, but it is also a fact that for example the United States Coast Guard makes over 80% of the rescue and search mission because of amateur sailors who think they can brave a storm. What is for a 600 footer an easy go is for a sailing vessel already a good storm and unfortunately a lot peoples do not even think about that until they facing the storm.

"It is always behond me why peoples have to go on the North Atlantic with small sailing vessels this time of the year. I my opinion rather "unthoughtfull" to say the least."

Here, here!

This photo reminds me of a captain I once sailed with who remarked that whenever he went to sea he always followed the "six-hundred-foot rule", which states: "Never go to sea in anything under six-hundred feet long".

Capt Ted, perhaps because there is a natural human craving for a challenge. I don't know. The storm was bad enough, but not the worst by any means.

Hello Finn.
Dramatic shots you showed us.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards Roar
