The word tsunami comes from the Japanese words for ‘harbour’ (tsu) and (name). They are because they become bigger and break when they are near land. If you are on a ship on the sea, the tsunami will pass under you. If you’re on the beach things are different But boats on the sea are not always safe. On 16th April 2005, Norwegian Dawn, a cruise ship, was traveling near the Bahamas . After two days of violent storms, a twenty-one metre wawe hit the ship. The next moment there was panic. The broke windows and water flooded into sixty-four cabins. It destroyed furniture and injured passengers.
