At that time there was no precise weather forecast, especially not by radio. In such situations, the ability of the captain and his team was shown.
Dramatic shot! Thanks for sharing.

Well Heizer, you may be retired and safe at home, but there are still seamen braving roaring waters to deliver supplies to us on land, these last weeks these seamen were crucial to combat the Convid-19 worldwide.
