Lituya Bay is an incredible place - it has a treacherous, narrow entrance navigated by lining up range markers and entering at slack tide - unless you want to soil yourself, or die.
The French explorer LaPerouse tried it at the wrong time and lost 21 men in a longboat in 1786.
A salmon troller named Edri survived the 1958 tsunami and spent many more years in Southeast Alaska - I knew the owner back in the 80's, not the original skipper. He got crazy drunk and was shot by the Hoonah cops, they left him laying on the dock for several hours but he lived. He later collected a ton of money for that incident.

I remember reading about several of the boats that were in the path of that 1958 Alaskan bay landslide tsunami which I think happened at night.
Can you imagine what a 1700’ tsunami looks, sounds and feels like?
