Rest in peace the lost crew of Brixham Joanna C.

To the guy on the bridge this is a piece of cake.....he knows his ship, he can pick the waves and has probably done it many times before..so relax, he is what we know to be an expert skipper, like all his mates in the harbour. Fabulous footage, thank you!

As a west cost New Zealand owner of a displacement vessel I congratulate the helmsman. Also a well balanced vessel 👍👍

A Trawler well scalloper from Brixham sank capsized off New haven a week ago & two crew members lost their lives.... This is what they go through to put fish on the market uve got to have some balls.... Respect goes out to them & thoughts r with the families of the Sunken Joanna C BXM x

Some good pilotage shown here. Handles the boat beautifully. Most people have no clue what so ever, how difficult it is to handle a boat like this in these seas coming into port. Just to give you a quick idea what it’s like, imagine this; Half the time you’re coming in, you cannot see where you’re going. You only catch a quick glimpse of what direction to head to, when the ship is momentarily on top of the wave. Once that brief time is over, the wave passes under the boat, and you’re back down in the trough between waves, with nothing to see but a wall of water in front and also behind you. That’s just the first of many things. Another difficulty? You only have steering about half of the time. So you get your quick glimpse to locate the narrow inlet passage, and you have to immediate correct the course, in a matter of seconds before you lose the steering capability. This happens because the forward motion across the rudder is lost. So steering is also completely lost during the entire time until you get the flow back over the rudder. One last tid-bit? This is a great one!! Very often in these following seas, coming out of these troughs and having to do everything at the same time on a matter of seconds, it’s not uncommon that the steering of the ship actually functions backwards. So to turn right, you must turn the helm (wheel) to the left for that brief period, until it corrects, then back to the right quickly, or you get broadside in the trough, and at that point you’re finished. Likely Capsized. That’s just a few brief points to consider. What these captains are doing when you see this footage, is extremely difficult, and extremely frightening. One wrong move, and you’re going to sink the ship and lose the men to drowning. So many people think it’s just a matter of just “steering” in like in a car... lol. That couldn’t be further from the truth...

I dreamed of such fishing vessels all my childhood long. Spent so many hours in the harbour, when we were on vacation 😍.

Just another day at the office? Great film and a graphic portrayal of the work these people do. Thank you to the trawlermen.

You are àll heroes. Ànđ we complaint about the çomplane about the price of fish. How many people go to work and wonder if they will see their families again. You are true heroes. My your God bring you all home safe. I have so much respect for you all.

Wow I'm glad this popped up in my suggested vids! Great thrilling vid. Very insightful. Thanks for posting.

I see exactly what you mean about surfing into Brixham. My late Uncle Charles Ashford was a Brixham fisherman. I have great respect for ALL Brixham fishermen

In a well-found vessel the seas are relatively safe, its the bits around the edge where the trouble starts.

Exciting in the days of sail I would imagine 😮

Memories of Scuba Diving days and nights Port Balintrae to Rathlin Isle and returns, huge seas all in a 17ft dory. Superb skipper Michael K. No one better to be at the helm in those waters. He long gone Michael R.I.P.

So sorry to hear about the Joanna c. My condolences to the family's and friends.❤

We would consider these calm to moderate conditions here in Greymouth NZ.

I just love seeing the crew on the aft deck just working away as life as normal.

nice video❤

That's blowin' a right hooley outside the breakwater! It always looks ten times worse off of Shoalstone. There's a nice sea water swimming pool that near where this video is taken from. Someone is gonna be shoveling the shingle out if it after that blow!

great video,nice footage!

And don't forget that telephoto shots of ships in heavy seas taken from the shore, always look more dramatic than reality on board; but in no way detract from the fact that commercial fishing is one of the most risky of all occupations. Search 'crossing the Greymouth bar' for even more examples showing foreshortening by the tele lens.

They have the correct angle of attack with the correct speed and are able to maintain it with a following sea, that is pretty amazing. They can get sidewise and rollover in a heartbeat if not maintained.

Thanks

These things always look worse from off the boat than aboard her. All in a day’s work for these professionals.

This is just another ride home for winter time in the north Atlantic.good footage tho🤙

There but for the grace of God. Watching a boat in a big sea reminds us of our fragility and that we are but shadows on the Earth.

Just the same , I’ll bet they were pleased to be home .

Thanks for no crappy music .

Jesus I’ve never been seasick I my life , but this almost did it for me.

Spent a summer working in a pub in Brixham , 'Hole in the Wall' . Those fisherman were nutcases .

Sitting low cos it’s full. More than one job where you go to work not knowing if you’re ever coming back. I went into mine but had i hindsight deep sea fishing would have been more up my street has my Mums Father came from Grimsby and the fishing industry. Only joking on the full bit. It’s the camera angle. God Bless you all 😚

Very nice. A couple of queries: Do these boats have a dedicated captain / navigator and engineer or do the fishermen on board have to do these duties? What would be the seawater temperature that time of year in those conditions?

Hi, James. I have now watched four different videos that show the Emily Rose handling rough seas. In my opinion as a former offshore fisherman, this is one VERY good design. Is there any chance you could tell me who the naval architect was and which shipyard built the boat? I'd very much appreciate it. Best, Chris

Just a question from someone whose major "seafaring" experience stems from rowing on a lake: When she "disappears" between wave crests, it looks as if she becomes too slow (in the water, not over ground) for the rudder to have any effect. Is that true? Must be spooky for the guy at the helm...

Arrr , the boat be slow but the fish be fresh, arrr

Thanks for the video .

What a fine vessel....

It takes balls to name your ship the Emily Rose.... for those who don’t know the movie the “Exorcism of Emily Rose” It’s quite disturbing and true

Can I ask the knowledgable viewers why the outriggers appear to be stowed “out” rather than swung in if preparing to come alongside?

Well done to all fisherman, especially British ones!

No water over the bow or wheelhouse shes barely rolling! Good sea boat.come see some Georges bank January footage when its blowing 50..

would make a good world cruiser indeed, she has an easy roll, one cannot understate the importance of the rudder design in a beam and following sea She has good stability even with lots of weight in her mast gantries, and tackle i give up, where was the camera

I worked on trawlers from Peterhead for 6 yrs ended up on the north Sea oil rigs

That's some rough water right there!

Southern England- where grass is nearly always green.

2:41 looked like it was capsizing and taking on water!

De zeeman maakt het schip .

That’s not that bad,I’ve been in much rougher seas in much smaller boats.

What is that wheel spinning away on the back of the boat?

Quite true Chris D. I got two YT videos mixed up

Let’s hope that Brexit will mean that this boat will have an increase in its catch quota. That should have a good knock-on effect for the crew and their family, the boat’s owners, Brixham and the every part of the industry associated with British fishing.

He's grand.

Looks like the hold is full to the gills

Who is filming all of this . . . ???

I no the best commercial fisherman in brixham, his name is Scott Whittaker AKA smasher...

Shipshape and Brixham fashion.

Can't get seasick unless I had stomach bug

just like the fair ground uk

Any fish in UK waters these days?

i think i maked a model from this old urker kotter

Next time you see someone moaning about the price of fish show them this video. Then ask them if they fancy going out in weather like this 🤔 The crews are well under paid for this job

I feel sick now.

Jesus Christ. These people have done this thousands of times. Thousands. They do it every other week from this time of year through to next March/April. He still has a Nav signal up that he is engaged in trawling.

I can swim faster than the Emily Rose.
