Natural Resources Canada (2006) reports: "The earthquake triggered a large submarine slump (an estimated volume of 200 cubic kilometres of material was moved on the Laurentian slope) which ruptured 12 transatlantic cables in multiple places, and generated a tsunami. The tsunami was recorded along the eastern seaboard as far south as South Carolina and across the Atlantic Ocean in Portugal." A delegation from the Burin Peninsula, meeting with government officials during the relief effort, estimated the damage at $1 million (The Daily News, 1929). There were twenty-eight confirmed deaths (Ruffman, 2005). See individual runups for more detail on the locations mentioned in reports of the time. Here is the event that caused the break.
