Anyone else see this photo??? Real or hoax?

I came across this photo the other day....Has anyone else seen this before?? Either it's a hoax, or an actual picture taken. If it's real maybe we can find some more information such as where and when it was taken.....

That is awesome - if it's real I'm glad I wasn't there lol.

WOW! It's hard to picture that it's real, but who knows?

I remember this from a few years ago. It came out as the Triumph hitting a wave in hurricane Isabel, but that was false because that ship was doing the Canada New England itinerary at the time. From what I read on other various sites at the time was that it hit the rogue wave off the Nova Scotia coast and this pic came from footage taken by a Canadian military plane. If I remember right, the pic was posted online by the mother of one of those air crew members. A couple google searches only came up with the link that Peddlar posted, so I can't come up with the original stories I read about this.

Incredible pic Jason. It tells you the power of naure. BTW that reminds that more US destroyers were sunk in WW II by typhoons than from enemy fire.

WOW! Truly amazing picture Jason. I have often wondered what it must have like to be hit by one of these wave monsters especially if one was out on one of the top decks looking at it coming towards you. Scares me just thinking about that!
