Amgine,
Agreed. The contest of which body of water is more destructive then another is silly. They can all behave perfectly horrendously at times, even the protected bays and sounds.
The Pacific Ocean gets its origins from the word Pacific which means 'peaceful' in a way but that ocean is anything but gentle in most respects. The Atlantic is just narrower with more land masses that mess with its currents and weather patterns. The Indian Ocean is sometimes shallower with more islands about and the Southern Ocean is just that; the south end of all of them and includes the roaring '40's'.
Anyone trying to sail into the Arctic or Antarctic is just plain asking for trouble IMHO; whales, seals and other wildlife not withstanding - they have a hard life too as do the Inuit people.
