Rock and roll across the ocean

Copied from an old slide. Far into the Southern Ocean, the weather conditions improved. The wind dropped a little and the sun came through, though we still continued to roll in large swells. Long after, someone recounted the story of how the Captain said of the Nella Dan "She's a good ship in the ice": the reply was "yes, but she's no b****y good in the ocean". She was as tough as nails though, even if she would roll on wet grass. :)
The ship rolled particularly badly one night during the storm. The result was that the Beaver aircraft dipped a wingtip causing the damage seen in the PiP: needless to say, it was unserviceable for the trip.

tiabunna club has replied to Philippe_28I've included this image taken back at the wharf, to give an indication of how far the aircraft wingtip was above the ocean.
The damaged wingtip. Hey, what's that off in the distance about central on the horizon?
