Tsunami. Japanese for “large waves in harbors." is the cor
rect term for what most of us erroneously refer to as "tidal
waves " On August 8. 1868. an earthquake in Chile created
a dramatic tsunami The visiting U S.S Wateree was anchored
offshore when the monster wave hit As the crew of 234 clung
to their lifelines, the wave (variously reported as 55 to 70 feet
high) swept over the ship Then the Wateree rose to the sur
face and rode the crest three miles up the coast and two miles
inland before being deposited in a desert. Amazingly, all on
board survived, but the ship spent the rest of her days in the
desert, seeing duty first as a hospital then as a warehouse
j~- 1 before finally serving as an artillery target dur
mg the Peruvian-Chilean War in 1879.
