Sea birds

I have absolutely no idea what kind of sea birds these were, they flew along side the ship for many kilometres and we were far from land. They dive bombed the schools of fish that they saw and happily glided in the thermal heat of the ships smoke stack.

Hi there, are they a type of Gannet? They look like a bit like our UK Gannets which also dive-bomb into the water when catching fish, folding back their wings at the last moment.
