Terribly powerful monster waves buried ships in the ocean

Every week there are two or three disappearing somewhere in the world, possibly due to monster waves, with enough power to break any ship.

Sputnik quoted researcher Jo Keeling as saying, "There are currently no ships built to support such terrible waves. We are only aware that those waves exist. '

'Every week there are two missing cargo ships, and one of the biggest doubts is mysteries,' Ms. Keeling added.

Monster waves can be the cause of mysterious ships missing in the sea.

Such waves exist in the deepest part of the ocean and rarely cause trouble for the majority of the world's population. Therefore, information on monster waves is not much, Ms. Keeling explained.

How powerful is the monster wave?

These are big waves, at least twice as tall as other high waves. They appear unexpectedly on the surface of the sea and are particularly dangerous for all boats, including large ships.

"If you go into rough seas with waves of up to 12 meters, most of the waves are similarly high. However, having a wave will be 3 times as high, ie more than 30 meters. " Ms. Keeling said.

Information about the monster wave was first mentioned in the 13th century and it was not until 1995 that scientists learned about it.

Jo Keeling is the author of the book about the most mysterious stories in the world.

Columbus once detailed the monster wave in 1492. He pointed out that a place with waves of monsters on the sea was near Trinidad . This area is also known as "Snake's Mouth".

This is the home of huge waves. Colombus described the higher wave of the ship's mast. This wave can lift the whole ship and drop it into a depression in the middle.

This phenomenon was recorded on the first day of the new year 1995. A wave of 25.6 meters then appeared at the Draupner rig in the North Sea.

Earlier this year, Yachting World magazine published a special newsletter on the phenomenon, with the words of many sailors.

No boats stood before the monster wave

The giant cargo ship MV Derbyshire also disappeared mysteriously in 1980.

According to researcher Keeling, currently, no ship has been designed to withstand the power of monster waves.

"Monster waves have a power of 100 tons / m ² , while the strongest ship that we close can only withstand 15 tons of strength (will be harmless) and 30 tons (damaged). ) The level of 100 tons will tear the ship in half , 'Ms. Keeling said.

Keeling said the monster wave could have led to a series of mysterious disappearance of ships , including the British flag carrier MV Derbyshire. The ship had a tonnage of 169,000 tons sunk off Japan in 1980, killing 44 people.

The ship was only 4 years old and the largest British model ship at the time. The reason for shipwrecking is still a mystery.
