Why Monster Waves Can’t Sink Large Ships During Storms

How does a 100,000-ton ship survive 30-foot waves that look like they should snap it in half? The answer involves ingenious hull design and engineering principles refined over centuries of heavy weather sailing. In this video, we break down the science of ship stability and buoyancy: why steel vessels float despite being eight times denser than water, how the hull deflects wave energy, and the physics behind a ship's ability to roll 50 degrees and still recover. We explore hogging and sagging — the constant flexing that keeps ships from breaking apart — and why watertight integrity is the difference between survival and disaster. Then we examine what happens when maritime safety fails. In 2015, the cargo ship El Faro sailed directly into Hurricane Joaquin. The 790-foot vessel had every engineering advantage designed to keep her afloat. But the voyage data recorder recovered from 15,000 feet of water revealed a different story — one where human judgment failed before the ship ever did. The El Faro disaster proves that even the best engineering can't save a ship from the wrong decisions.
