The Captain Who Pointed The Ship At The TSUNAMI

How This Captain Survived a 120-Foot Volcanic Tsunami — The true story of the eruption that changed the world. On August 27, 1883, the eruption of Krakatoa produced massive tsunamis across the Sunda Strait. One surge reported at roughly 120 ft (≈37 m). This is the eyewitness account of the steamship Gouverneur Generaal Loudon and the captain who refused to turn away: Johan Lindemann. With about 110 passengers aboard (≈–140-150 people including crew), Lindemann’s decision to point the bow into the oncoming wall of water — and the crew’s brutal effort to clear ash and pumice — saved every life aboard. What you’ll see in this video: • A cinematic retelling of the Krakatoa eruption and tsunami. • The critical split-second choices that saved the Loudon. • Eyewitness details from Lindemann’s log and scientific context on the tsunamis and ashfall. • Why this episode still matters to sailors and disaster planners today.
