It's sped up and stretched vertically to make it look scarier. Still wouldn't willingly go into that in a wooden boat though

Only 500 years ago? How about in the 800s to 900s when the Vikings were sailing over to the new world??!! Just can't imagine a small wooden boat outlasting a pop-up hurricane or just even a bad storm!!!

They had demi-god, pet cikin, and a wooden raft that wouldn't break

There is a reason why their are sunken treasure galleons all over the place. It wasn't certain you'd make your destination, bit cargo must flow and profit be made.

With absolute skills, luck, and strength to carry their massive balls of steel.

Well for starters they did it in the correct aspect ratio so the waves were shorter.

They probably searched Reddit and reposted the same thing with the same headline every single week like you’re doing.

They didn’t… if a ship 500 years ago ran into seas that rough, it meant the navigator failed and they were going to capsize/die.
