I've seen a few links from time to time to sites with amazing pictures of ships ploughing into gigantic seas and I need to track a few down for a project I'm working on. Some were US Coast Guard I think and others were North Sea supply ships. There was also a series of terrifying freak wave stuff involving a tanker. Could anyone help? Thanks.

I think here - scroll down to last photo. Fab.

HTH.

Oh and The Perfect Storm is on on Channel 5 as we speak. You could always take a snap of the screen at the appropriate moment. See? Whoever said I don't come up with sensible suggestions...?

Re: Red top language!

I have my doubts about the claim in Photo 4. The apparent height might be exaggerated by the ship's roll. I still wouldn't want to be out in it though.

Red tops... White caps... At least you guys knew what I meant and gave me just what I was looking for. Just hope we don't meet one of them on the way to Cherbourg. Many thanks.
