OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Learn
about the cataclysmic natural events that
struck Hilo, here in the historic First
Hawaiian Bank Building on Kamehameha Avenue.
Hilo twice survived tsunamis and as a
result, the town was built further inland
with a park as a buffer.
See photographs of the 1946 and 1960
disasters. Listen to recordings of
eye-witness accounts. Some of the volunteer
docents remember the speeding wave of 1960,
and share their stories of bravery. This is
a fascinating stop on your visit to Hilo.
The museum
provides interactive exhibits,
documentaries, and docents to explain
the tsunami phenomenon and how it
affects us in Hawaii, and particularly
in Hilo which is dubbed the "Tsunami
Capital."
