I received these pics attached to an email saying the ship was riding out Cyclone George which hit Western Australia last week. However, a bit of digging turned up the same pics as being a 1987 North Atlantic storm that the Selkirk Settler encountered. I have posted the pics and a link to the website.

She tops out fully loaded at about 60,000 tonnes.

Woah! It took me awhile to figure out what the first pic was, but you can see the mast on the front of the boat peeking out from below that wave. sheesh!

Glad I wasn't riding on that ship.

I guess it wasn't a good day to catch some sun on deck. j:
