That's a whirlpool? Bwhahhahahahhahaha this is a whirlpool:

"On 28th January 1827 Admiral Dumont d'Urville, Captain of the Navy
corvette "Astrolabe" sailed through 'Passe des Francais" ( French
Pass ). Just after 7am that morning, with slack tide, suddenly the
rushing boiling tide zapped up and swung the corvette leewards. She had
not responded to helm and handling and was completely at the mercy of
the tide. The corvette struck a reef twice but was eventually swept into
nearby Admiralty Bay. Men on the corvette said she was at one moment
lying on her beam ends as if about to be swallowed up by the whirlpools
that surrounded her. Admiral Dumont d'Urville was then of the opinion
that no-one should attempt to navigate the French Pass except in an
emergency. This respect for the waters of French Pass was held over the
next 173 years."

That's what I would have guessed, with Sputen
Duyvel as the 'reversing falls' athough I don't
think they really are very high falls and long
since 'improved.'
