I was on a ship like that in wind like that. 100 years later there are not much better high wind tall ship pics anywhere. They are having a scary day. He kept the horizon level.

Do you see the platform on the mast in the middle? Chances are he was on the foremast on it's similar platform. You can bet the ship was rolling heavily and he might've been tied down and his camera in hand. But tied to a safety leash.

I have no idea what it must have been like working these ships in heavy seas. I've been on two three-masters as a passenger but it wasn't in seas like this, and doing photography from the rigging looks pretty daring and difficult.

No Luxury (in terns of ANYTHING, althought they are neccesities of our life in todays world; fridge, telephone, porper stove, not even canned cheap food !!!)
And still today´s ships (Foreaxmple Costa Concordia), could sink ! Pathetic...
