The 1960 Valdivia earthquake or Great Chilean earthquake of Sunday, 22 May 1960 was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded, rating 9.5 on the moment magnitude scale. It occurred in the afternoon (19:11 GMT, 15:11 local time), and lasted approximately 10 minutes. The resulting tsunami affected southern Chile, Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, eastern New Zealand, southeast Australia, and the Aleutian Islands. The epicenter was near Lumaco, approximately 570 kilometres south of Santiago, with Valdivia being the most affected city. The tremor caused localised tsunamis that severely battered the Chilean coast, with waves up to 25 metres (82 ft). The main tsunami raced across the Pacific Ocean and devastated Hilo, Hawaii. Waves as high as 10.7 metres (35 ft) were recorded 10,000 kilometres from the epicenter, and as far away as Japan and the Philippines. Various estimates of the total number of fatalities from the earthquake and tsunamis have been published, with the United States Geological Survey citing studies with figures of 2,231, 3,000, or 5,700 killed and another source uses an estimate of 6,000 dead. On May 22nd, 1960, an earthquake caused a tidal wave at Chile. As a consequence, Chilean steamships Canelos (built 1930, 2794 GRT), Carlos Haverbeck (built 1929, 2872 GRT) and Santiago (built 1949, 2946 GRT). Canelos was lost at Puerto Montt, Carlos Haverbeck at Corral and Santiago off Isla Mocha.
