Wave Heights Measured By British Sea Recorder
Scientists at the Oceanographic Institution in Wood’s Mole Massachusetts will use a British sea-wave recorder to document exact wave heights in the coming spring. Normal waves run six to twelve feet, with high seas reaching twenty seven feet and violent gales up to thirty six feet. a Lisbon earthquake tidal wave in 1755 is said to have been sixty feet. A Peruvian wave once lifted a ship over a church a mile inland, and a Scilly Isles lighthouse wave threw seabed gravel onto the Bishop Rock platform.
