Discussion is based primarily on damage produced by recent tsunamis along northern California coast; of these tsunamis, by far most damaging was that of Mar 1964 which caused approximately $11, 000,000 damage at Cresent City, about $300,000 damage at other coastal locations, and about $200,000 damage in San Francisco Bay; at Cresent City, where maximum run-up reached about 21 ft above mean lower low water, damage was largely to wood frame structures of relatively light construction and to floating vessels; at other locations, damage was primarily to commercial fishing and pleasure vessels and associated shoreside structures.
