Document Description
On November 15, 2006, an 8.3 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Kuril Islands of Japan that generated a tsunami that reached the California coast. A series of waves engulfed the harbor at Crescent City causing extensive damage to the docks and berthing system of the inner boat basin. The tsunami created excessive side forces on all the docks in the basin causing the concrete docks to flex beyond their structural limits, resulting in cracking of the concrete and breaking of the whaler boards that hold the sections of the docks together. Approximately 37,000 square feet of the 57,100 severly damaged but still being used. All 161 Dock support pilings were damaged resulting in the loss of structural integrity of the overall berthing system.
