Ripple Rock (French: Roche Ripple) is an underwater mountain located in the Seymour Narrows of the Discovery Passage in British Columbia, Canada. It had two peaks (2.74 metres and 6.4 metres below the surface at low tide) that produced large, dangerous eddies from the strong tidal currents that flowed around them at low tide. Ships transiting the strait preferred to wait until slack tide in order to safely bypass the rock.

  • Der Ripple Rock ist ein Unterwasser-Berg in der Discovery Passage zwischen Vancouver Island und der dem kanadischen Festland vorgelagerten mit zwei Bergspitzen. Ursprünglich war eine der beiden Bergspitzen nur etwas weniger als drei Meter (neun Fuß) unter der Wasseroberfläche. Heute befinden sich die beiden Bergspitzen 13,7 m (45 ft) bzw. 15,2 m (50 ft) unter der Oberfläche und stellen keine Gefahr mehr für die Schifffahrt dar. Bis zur Sprengung sanken an dieser Gefahrenstelle 119 Boote und Schiffe, dabei kamen 114 Menschen ums Leben. (de)
