History

The harbour was struck by the 1964 Alaska earthquake tsunami, which killed eleven people and destroyed much of the waterfront. A further tsunami in July 2025, triggered by the M8.8 Kamchatka earthquake, recorded the highest waves ever observed on the continental United States coast and damaged H-dock.
