Contents: This publication consolidates tsunami data for the Pacific Ocean 
dating back to 173 A.D. It is based upon written data, geological data, and 
other researcher's reports. The data include: (a) earthquake data (time, 
epicenter coordinates, magnitude, and depth of quake); (b) tsunami data 
(region of generation, tsunami severity, locations where the tsunami was 
observed, height and period of waves, time taken to travel from the quake 
epicenter, and effects and remarks which contain damage reports, deaths, and 
effects of the tsunami); and (c) references which give the names of previous 
researchers of the tsunami. 
Some of the older data are incomplete due to lack of written information 
or uncertainty of data. Many of the older times and Richter quake magnitudes 
are approximations, as accurate data were unavailable.
