There’s a large assortment of navy vessels just north of Talcahuano, on the west side of the bay. The tsunami that swamped Talcahuano probably hit that whole harbor pretty hard.

The 1812 New Madrid quake was felt over the entire eastern USA. It was reported collapsed chimneys in NYC and rang church bells in Boston. A quake this massive is unimaginable
