Canadian Facts and Trivia - THE EXTREMES
The waters of the North Atlantic can be rough, producing waves several stories tall.

On September 11, 1995, the QE2 cruise liner was slammed by a 30-metre monster off the coast of Newfoundland during Hurricane Luis, the highest recorded wave height in Canadian waters. Environment Canada says the massive wave was at the time the largest wave height ever measured on record.
