This was the experience of those on QE2’s Bridge in 1995 when the ship was hit by a massive rogue wave, estimated to be 95ft or around 29m tall! — 🚢 My Cunard History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com/ 📚 Buy my books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books 👕 Buy cruise merch: https://chrisframeofficial.Teemill.com/ 🛳️ Learn more about cruising at my Blog: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/ — Image Support from full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9yxur-71mM Rob Henderson and Doug Cremer from the Henderson & Cremer Collection for the imagery used in this video.
