USS Trenton (1877-1889) Hurricane of March 1889

Now I can imagine the Titanic being tugged in a hurricane!

Hi loren how about this for a storm

Buzzardluck, here is another angle of that same storm.

GUYS!!! Those are incredible pic's, but I read that those picture's were internet hoax's :(

hey loren , a friend of mine is in the navy (canadian ) there ship intentionaly went into a small hurricane dont ask me why ! he showed me some of the pictures that he took of the front edge of the storm and they looked alot like those pictures .

even if they are frauds they are still pretty cool. :P

I also heard the stories of the pictures being false, but I also heard thhat was just a rumor and that they are in fact, real photographs. I'll have to look around to find where I read that.

Add my voice to those discrediting the picture. It was revealed on a website, (and of course I can't find it now :unsure: ), that it was a Photoshop, a picture altered to look that way.
Which is sad, because that's one impressive picture, yes?

Real or not, they are impressive pictures. Hurricane's are an interest of mine, living along the Gulf Coast.

I`m more interested in Great Lakes maritime history, myself, but that`s probably `cause I live in Michigan, about 50 miles from Lake Michigan. I`ve got a few books on local history/interest, and the descriptions of some of the Great Lakes storms are just awesome in their intensity.

Don't know where this was taken, but I got it in an email called "Top 5 Pictures of 2003"

the pic's are gone now there back HA :P

hows this for neat. thats Niagra falls in 1911

That is super neat!! :D

I can't wait to see the movie THe Day after tomorrow where they depicted a true new ice age happening in one day.

WOW talk about CGI effects.

After being in the U.S. Navy for ten years I went through some pretty rough storms. The worst was in 1992 (I think) it was called super typhoon Yancy. We were in transit from Yokosuka, Japan to Subic Bay Philippines when we ran into the storm. It was a doozy. 100 mile an hour plus winds, 60 foot plus waves. Talk about a horrid ride. Our ship (USS Sterrett CG-31) got beat up pretty good. We lost a bunch of life rafts, the captains gig along with the jackstaff. The storm bow on the forecastle got dented just from the force of the waves. We were rolling (side to side) anywhere from 30 to 50 degrees and pitching (up and down) anywhere from 20 to 35 degrees. At one point we did a 54 degree roll. On that roll we had one person on board break his collar bone and another person slid across the mess decks and broke his arm when he slammed into one of the support legs for a table. I was so glad when we finally broke out of that storm.

@buzz: very cool picture. looks fantastic w:

Niagra Falls? Interesting :) n: w:

Would love to see "The Day after Tomorrow" myself. the previews look awesome! after seeing 10.5 on NBC which was good but schlocky. Then Sunday, just the wife and i are leaving the Indy 500 the longest , most drenching downpour i have seen in years occured. And the clouds were so dark the wife was terrified driving through indianapolis that she kept thinking there was an tornado but i kept her driving and apparently just after we left hancock county to the east of Indianapolis we heard about a tornado that had just gone through that county on the car radio.

The day after tomorrow is a very good movie. I like this topic and it makes me thinking about the weather and th world.
