Check out the Old Sow, flowing so hard on the flood tide. The Old Sow is the largest tidal whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere and is created by the way the tide flows around the corners of all of the islands in the area. It is located between Deer Island Point, NB and Eastport, ME. August 14, 2022 | Quoddy Link Marine

Wanted to share this video of the Old Sow from Tuesday, September 29, 2015. We had the highest tides in 18 years! The Old Sow is the largest tidal whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere and is created by the way the tide flows around the corner of Deer Island and Eastport, Maine. What a sight to see!!! | Quoddy Link Marine

Imagine this: a gigantic whirlpool opens in the ocean, spinning endlessly and draining all the way down to Earth’s core. 🌊🌀 It looks dramatic—but scientifically, this simply can’t happen. Here’s why: First, Earth’s core isn’t hollow. Beneath the ocean floor is solid rock (the crust), then the mantle, and finally the core. There’s no empty tunnel or cavity for water to drain into. The pressure and density of these layers increase massively with depth, making any open shaft physically impossible
