ever, are not usually high, and in deep
water the height of a wave of $500 feet
in length would be no more than one
fiftieth of its length, or about fifty feet.
Observers, particularly those who were
situated on small vessels. claim to
have seen waves much higher than
this. but their observations are not of
much value, for the reason that the
deck of such vessel floats parallel to
the surface of the waves instead of
parallel to the plane OF the horizon, and
the inclination of the deck will thus
give the observer an exaggerated i'm
preston of the height of an oncoming
wave. Records taken where this source
of error was carefully eliminated show
the highest waves in open water to
have measured fifty feet from trough
to crest, although M. Berth is of the
opinion that in the southern seas waves
of even greater height than this may
occasionally be met.

higher, SO that on striking shoal a
forty-foot wave will climb to height
of fifty feet or more. Should it meet
an obstacle that approaches the verti-
cal it may easily be thrown up to a
height of 100 feet or more, as at the
celebrated Eddystone Light off Ply
mouth England, where solid green
water has at times been known to
reach a height of 100 feet.
Although the period of the longest
wave may occasionally reach twenty
three seconds and its length $3.50 feet.
such waves are exceedingly rare, the
common length of long wave being
something over 500 feet and the period
ten seconds. The average period is
from six to eight seconds and the
length from 160 to 800 feet. 1t is rare
ly that the height exceeds thirty three
feet.
