I heard the tsunami in the 1963 Alaskan earthquake was 1000 feet. Can anyone verify it? Thanks.

1964 Alaskan earthquake.

The tsunami height varied with the distance away from the earthqauke, but it was nowhere near 1000 feet.

However, in Valdez Harbor there was a gigantic landslide which caused a large seiche.
