We present a study on the prediction of rogue waves during the 1-hour seastate of Hurricane Joaquin when the Merchant Vessel El Faro sank east of theBahamas on October 1, 2015. High-resolution hindcast of hurricane-generated seastates and wave simulations are combined with novel probabilistic models toquantify the likelihood of rogue wave conditions. The data suggests that the ElFaro vessel was drifting at an average speed of approximately~$2.5$~m/s priorto its sinking. As a result, we estimated that the probability that El Faroencounters a rogue wave whose crest height exceeds 14 meters while driftingover a time interval of 10~(50) minutes is $\sim1/400$~$(1/130)$. The largestsimulated rogue wave has similar generating mechanism and characteristics ofthe Andrea, Draupner and Killard rogue waves as the constructive interferenceof elementary waves enhanced by bound nonlinearities.
