A video on Tuesday showed a ferry being submerged as rough seas in Northwest Washington crashed into the ship.
Named the M/V Issaquah, the ferry was traveling near the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Anacortes, according to Washington State Ferries.
They stated that the boat had no passengers on board. Instead, the ship transports the crew and their vehicles.
The footage in Issaquah begins with shots of the vehicle as water flows under and around it.
In the background, the white waves of the Strait can be seen churning violently.
“We occasionally have waves crashing over the bow, but for this to happen, it’s very, very rare,” Washington State Ferries said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. They stated that the ship was moving outside its normal course.
The video then cuts to another part of the ferry, where the water that initially flooded the vehicle compartment is flowing.

The water can be seen moving side to side as the boat is tossed by the waves outside.
Washington State Ferries said the boat’s captain reported that the weather forecast looked good for the vessel.
After the crew emerged from the shelter of Puget Sound, the seas ended up being rougher than expected.

Taken by Washington resident Sarah Geist, the pictures capture how violent the waves were as they crashed over the ship.
The waves were caused by high-speed winds. According to the National Weather Service, wind speeds on Tuesday were measured up to 25 mph.
Washington has seen a stormy march over the past week.
Officially labeled a “bomb cyclone”, the storm causing dangerous conditions has produced strong winds and even blizzard warnings in nearby mountains.
Washington State Ferries said the vessel sustained minimal damage.
