Port au Bras is a settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
In 1929 a large tsunami struck the Burin Peninsula, caused by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake about 265km off the coast.
The tsunami killed 28 people and caused approximately C$1 million in damage across the entire peninsula.
Port au Bras was one of the worst-affected neighbourhoods due to the long narrow bay around which the settlement is built, which caused the water level to rise by between 13 and 27 meters.
