What the record says
NCEI’s account, from the sources it cites.
Reference #415:
1960, May 22, 1960, 15:12 [local time]. There was a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami with source in the southern part of Central Chile. The maximal rise of water was 25(?) m in Chile, 10 1/2 m on the Hawaiian Islands, 6-9
m in Oceania, 6 1/2 m in Japan and the USSR, 3 1/2 m in the USA, 3(?) m in the Aleutian Islands, 2 m in New Zealand, and 1-1 1/2 at other places in the Pacific. About 1000 people died in Chile, 60 people on the Hawaiian Islands, and 200 in Japan. A strong preliminary earthquake occurred on May 21 at 6:00; it was accompanied by a mild tsunami.
About 1000 people died in Chile, 60 people on the Hawaiian Islands, and 200 in Japan.
Reference #3434:
Known deaths from the earthquake numbered about 500, and, from the maremotos, about 1,000. The number of injured ran into thousands, and there are still numbers of persons missing and unaccounted for.
Reference #2479:
In total the 1960 tsunami took an estimated 1,000 lives in Chile. It also claimed 61 in Hawaii and 138 in Japan. (p. 10)
Reference #237:
A great magnitude 8.6 earthquake off the coast of Chile caused 25-m runup there resulting in $550 million in damage and 1,000 deaths. It caused another $24 million in damage in Hawaii and 61 deaths and about $500,000 to $1,000,000 in damage on the U.S. west coast. In Japan the waves were more than 6-m high causing 199 fatalities and $50 million in damage.
Reference #164:
Material damage approached half a billion dollars and loss of life was estimated at 2000, mainly due to the tsunami.
Reference #3434:
A group of mapuchis or Araucanian Indians sacrificed a 7-year-old boy to the gods of the sea to calm the remorseless surf.
Reference #5399:
We conclude that the largest tsunami of record was observed-and simultaneously achieved maximum intensity-in all oceans, except the Arctic, from which we have no records. The 22 May 1960 Chile, 27 August 1883 Krakatau, and 26 December 2004 Indonesia tsunamis are the only known global tsunamis.
