Abstract
    Fifty-four tsunamis which have been reported from the western North and South Atlantic Oceans between 1530 and 1964 are included in Part I. These tsunamis have been most frequent in the seismically active regions around the eastern Caribbean. Tsunamis have also been reported in other parts of the area from South Georgia and Cape Horn to Iceland. Thirty-five tsunamis reported from the coasts of northern and western Europe between 842 and 1950 are listed in Part II. This list contains data on the majority of the waves of seismic origin innorthwest Europe from Cabo Finisterre on the northwestern tip of Spain to northern Scandinavia.
