Pitch-black Ocean: Netizens Shocked by View of Ocean at Night

An employee working on a tugboat showed the darkness of the ocean at night and users on TikTok have been staggered by its oily blackness and how it looks like an eternal vastness of nothing.

The young man with the nickname trevin_17, who also works on a tugboat in the USA shared a TikTok video that went viral on the platform.

The employee demonstrated in the video the sea's pitch-black darkness. "Everyone is posting videos of how dark it is on the boat at night. Well, I work on a ship. Let’s see how dark it really is," reads the video caption and then the young man goes on deck with a torch and demonstrates that "the light does not go far", and points the flashlight at the water. Around him is impenetrable blackness and nothing is visible.
