EDITORS COMMENTS
November 1, 1755: A Tsunami Sweeps Up the North Tagus River in Lisbon after the Devastating Earthquake This historic photograph, taken from the archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the aftermath of one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in European history. The image shows a massive tsunami wave, or tidal surge, making its way up the North Tagus River in Lisbon, Portugal, approximately 90 minutes after the earthquake tremors. Witnesses described the wave as a 'mountain' of water, highlighting the sheer scale and power of this natural phenomenon. The earthquake, which struck on All Saints' Day in 1755, measured an estimated 8.5 to 9.0 on the Richter scale and is still considered one of the most destructive earthquakes in recorded history. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami caused widespread devastation throughout Lisbon and its surrounding areas, resulting in an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 fatalities. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the destructive forces of nature and the resilience of those who lived through such a traumatic event. The image also underscores the importance of historical record-keeping and the role that archives and libraries play in preserving and sharing the stories of the past. This photograph is a testament to the power and impact of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake and the tsunami that followed. It is a reminder of the destructive forces of nature and the importance of being prepared for such events in the future.
