Tsunami: The Newfoundland Tidal Wave Disaster recounts the devastating events of November 18, 1929, when an offshore earthquake on the Grand Banks triggered a powerful tsunami that struck the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland. The disaster claimed 27 lives and caused staggering property damage, destroying homes and fishing premises across 50 outport communities. Maura Hanrahan brings this largely forgotten tragedy to light with careful research and vivid storytelling.
Beyond the destruction itself, the book highlights the extraordinary human response that followed. It tells of Nurse Dorothy Cherry’s tireless efforts to care for the injured and ill, and Magistrate Malcolm Hollett’s determined campaign to rebuild shattered communities. Both a historical account and a story of resilience, this book offers insight into one of Canada’s most significant natural disasters and the strength of the people who endured it.
