Acknowledgments This paper grew out of a presentation to the International Seminar in Memory
of Jean Vogt (1929-2005), and I would like to pay tribute to Jean Vogt as one of the outstanding
contributors to the study of historical seismology. As mentioned above, discoveries in historical
seismology often depend on serendipity, and Jean Vogt had a remarkable gift for discovering key
documents in unpromising archive collections. This paper also draws upon my contribution to
a study commissioned by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) on
tsunami risk to the UK, published as (Kerridge, 2005). I would like in addition to thank Michael
Tate of Tate Exploration Consultants Ltd for drawing my attention to some of the offshore evi-
dence cited in this paper, and also Kevin Horsburgh of Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory for
discussions of the 1607 event; also Dave Long and Ken Hitchen of BGS for helpful discussions on
various aspects of this work. Comments from Michel Cara and Gottfried Gr unthal improved the
quality of this paper. This paper is supported by the Natural Environment Research Council and is
published with the permission of the Executive Director of the British Geological Survey (NERC).
