That's pretty wild, Bob. I myself ascribe the Bermuda disappearances (as well as others around the world) to rogue waves.
Say, have you heard the details of the disappearance of the S.S. Waratah? They were discussed in a recent episode of SAVAGE SEAS on the Discovery Channel.
Here's the amplitude graph on the Draupner (oil platform) wave, which struck on New Year's Day in 1995. This is the first scientifically verified measurement of a rogue wave by an electronic instrument.
It's said that nonlinear wave theory supports the probability of rogue waves. The rogue begins to soak energy from the waves around it, its amplitude increases greatly, & its trough deepens to the point at which it is a very real peril even to large oceangoing tankers.
On an unrelated note, you wrote a totally excellent song in 1974 called ANGEL. It's one of my favorites.
