The 1968 Bartın earthquake occurred at 10:19:56 on September 3 with a moment magnitude of 6.3 and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of VIII (Severe). The thrust shock resulted in 24 to 29 deaths and 200 injuries. A tsunami was generated in the Black Sea with a maximum runup height of 3 metres (9.8 ft).

Earthquake

The shock originated on the coast of the Black Sea near Amasra and damage to stone masonry homes was considered heavy between Amasra and Bartin. Ground effects included rock slides, liquefaction, and downslope spreading near rivers. Beaches were raised 40 centimetres (16 in) near Amasra and Cape Cakraz, and a 3 metres (9.8 ft) tsunami caused flooding.[5]
