In 2014, I was aboard M/V Sea Explorer (now M/S Hebridean Sky) headed across the Drake Passage from Ushuaia to Antarctic Peninsula. Weather was rough, pushing 10 on the Beaufort scale but nothing the ship couldn't handle. I went down to deck 3 lounge and curled up on the banquette seats, fore most bench, port side. There was a sailor in the one aft of me and the ship's carpenter in the one across on starboard side. All passengers and pretty much everyone else in their cabins. Chief engineer saw it coming from deck 6; four wave forms merged and hit us on a 30 degree angle from other waves. That's four waves high in ten bells or 40m, out of nowhere. Hit us on starboard side and wiped out the lounge I was curled up in. All six windows blown in at once. They were an inch thick. I watched the starboard side door blow through the port side door and water pouring in to the top of the door frame. Enormous power. I got hit in the face with spray and glass but escaped serious injury. Sailor behind me got sliced in the face and needed stitches. I have no idea how the carpenter wasn't washed overboard considering where he was. So, all that damage was done by one wave. One monster freak wave. Thought you guys might enjoy.
