I sailed on a sister ship of the Spray.
I would have to dig up my papers to find the year, but on one ship I was on, our noon position from the day before was precisely where the TEXACO OKLAHOMA broke up and sank.
We had one of our roughest passages from Puerto Rico to New York that trip.
An article was written about the TEXACO OKLAHOMA hitting rogue waves that develop regularly off Cape Hatters.
And then a couple years later I was on a sister ship to her and ended up in the shipyard with one of the most extensive coast guard inspections I have ever experienced. Man I thought I was going to loose my license. At the end of the inspection the inspector offered me a job in the coast guard inspecting ships because he thought I had done such a good job.
I have been in a number of very large rogue waves. Scary
