Default Storm Damage

Been sent these pics from a friend in Durban, South Africa. The first four were taken from an ore carrier called the Selkirk Settler.

The next lot were taken after the storm in Durban harbour.

What happened in the port?!

Did it turn over on the port?

Yes, the ship overturned in port by the looks of it. I'll try and get some more details.

The ocean pics are awesome. Considering that I get sea sick on a lake if it's a bit breezy, I think I would have been ever so slightly ill if I had been aboard that ship.

Naw you wouldn't think about being sick, more likely when you are going to die, hitting waves like those is like slamming into a brick wall
