other ideas of throwing oil into the sea to ease a safe passage through choppy waters. In the days of mass-whaling ships would hang a lump of blubber over the side to quell the surface chop on the sea.
This is true. Put you do not use motor oil, you use a bio-degradable oil such as a vegetable oil. It would be used with a sea anchor that will dispense a small amount at a time. Could also be used with a mooring buoy.
It is called "Storm Oil" - oil for distribution on the surface of a body of water to calm wave activity.
A Sea Anchor would be used to hold the vessel bow to the wind and could have a dispenser to allow a slow amount of oil on the water to help with wave activity

If I remember back to when I took my U.S. Coast Guard examine for 3rd A/E this was a questions in "generals" section and the answer is correct.
Sorry but if it comes between dying or polluting water, I would pour all of the oil I had overboard.
Also this is for small boats, to keep the waves from cresting. It could save a life!

'does putting oil into water help boats in a storm?'
