Gonz posted:Seconding this. What a goddamn nightmare huge storms must have been in that era of sea exploration. I mean, they're awful now, but back then, with the wooden ships? Pirating ain't easy. This footage from 1929 on a ship centuries more advanced is still terrifying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zSNQrVSOpE&t=1516s "The two fellas in this shot got washed overboard, two empty bunks and nothing much said" Also, I have a feeling that captain is going to deeply regret telling Eleanor which ship has all their food on it.

On Terra Firma posted:Now that I think about it I can't think of too many other things I've seen that come close to that sequence. It's really loving bonkers what they did. They really nailed the wild crazy ride of terror such a storm creates. I've been on a tall ship in a force 10 storm and Billy's 'get below deck and ride it out' is really the only thing you can do. One crew member was on the bowsprit and got dunked into the water like in this episode, he was attached in a safety harness but still broke his leg from the force.
