Don Treadwell and I visited the Santa Cruz, CA, yacht harbor at 11:50 AM and the harbor upper basin was still surging, we assume from the tsunami.
Damage seemed to be concreted in the western portion of the eastern harbor basin and what we observed was severe damage to one set on boat slips which had apparently been torn from their respective support pilings and boats that hat been moored on these floats were set loose damaged. The harbor master was unavailable, but we spoke with a Mr. Tom Mc Claren (831 818 0650) who stated that seven boats were lost.
The Santa Cruz paper reported that damage at Santa Cruz amounted to $17 million..
