Royal Charter (ship) by some passengers, though not confirmed, that the master, Captain Thomas Taylor, was advised to put into Holyhead harbour for shelter. He decided to continue on to Liverpool however. Off Point Lynas the "Royal Charter" tried to pick up the Liverpool pilot, but the wind had now risen to Storm force 10 on the Beaufort scale and the rapidly rising sea made this impossible. During the night of 25/26 October the wind rose to Hurricane force 12 on the Beaufort Scale in what became known as the "Royal Charter gale". As the wind rose its direction changed from E to
Wind wave this point. This relation shows the wind flow transferring its kinetic energy to the water surface at their interface. Assumptions: Generally these wave formation mechanisms occur together on the water surface and eventually produce fully developed waves. For example, if we assume a flat sea surface (Beaufort state 0), and a sudden wind flow blows steadily across the sea surface, the physical wave generation process follows the sequence: Three different types of wind waves develop over time: Ripples appear on smooth water when the wind blows, but will die quickly if the wind stops. The restoring force that allows them
