Summary[edit]

Description
English: Guzelyali is a small fishing harbor on the south shore of Izmit Bay. The harbor is located behind a breakwater. According to reports, a leading depression wave was followed by a tsunami overtopping the seawall in the back of the harbor, causing small boats to lose their mooring lines. When the sea wall was measured, a height of 1.25 m was obtained for the tsunami. The entire harbor was covered with a 2.5 cm to 15 cm (1-6 inch) thick layer of oil that may have come from the large refinery fire across Izmit Bay. Earthquake damage along the waterfront at Guzelyali, east of Karamursel. The first floor of the building collapsed. Soil failure probably contributed to many of the collapsed structures in this area.
