My question would be, "where was the vessel?". If a Northeastern is blowing
into the gulf stream then the Captain should have changed course out of the
stream. Somewhat recently, a rather large naval cargo vessel was damaged in a
similar "rouge wave" incident.

Anyone know anything more about the cruise ship struck by a giant wave
the other day? Flooded many cabins and caused some injuries but not
much more info available here. .

"As the battered Norwegian Dawn began to steam home to New York in calmer
waters Sunday, the Coast Guard began investigating whether the ship's
captain sent a distress call during the rollicking storm."

Investigate? Well, did he or did he not?

Rollicking?
