The Draupner wave or New Year's wave was the first rogue wave to be detected by a measuring instrument, occurring at the Draupner platform in the North Sea off the coast of Norway on 1 January 1995. Prior to that measurement, no instrument-recorded evidence for rogue waves existed beyond anecdotal evidence provided by those who had encountered them at sea, although ships such as the British Ocean Weather Reporter had recorded very large waves that did not differ from their neighbours enough to be considered rogue.〔(Draper, L. Oceanus (X:4), July 1964 - " "Freak" Ocean Waves )〕 Minor damage was inflicted on the platform during this event, confirming the validity of the reading made by a downwards-pointing laser sensor. In an area with significant wave height of approximately , a freak wave with a maximum wave height of occurred (peak elevation was ). ==References== *Sverre Haver (5 August 2003).
