Rogue waves. For centuries they’ve captured the public’s imagination and terrified sailors - they have become the stuff of legends. But for a long time, Rogue Waves couldn’t even be proven to exist, but then, in the modern age, ships began to encounter huge waves, seemingly out of nowhere at sea. Some of these encounters were deadly; and some even sank ships. Here are some terrifying true encounters with real life rogue waves! Featuring the RMS Lusitania, RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, RMS Queen Mary, SS Michelangelo and the MS Munich / MS München.
