And only two years ago the British superliner Oriana was struck by a 70ft wave that smashed windows and sent water cascading through the ship, swamping six of its 10 decks. A month later eight men were killed when a freak wave struck the Anorient trawler 87 miles west of Loop Head in Co Clare...

That would be a rogue wave, a different phenomenon than tsunamis. For years most people refused to believe they existed.

Surely even a rogue wave would have left an impact in other locations as well. Perhaps new searches will be stimulated by this finding.
