Towns and villages were severely damaged, numerous cultural heritage sites were almost completelly destroyed and some 150 people were killed. The hypocentre was in the sea close to the coast, between Bar and Ulcinj, at a depth of 13 km (Herak et al., 1996). Tsunami induced by the earthquake was registered by several tide gauges. Record from nearby Bar, shows that sea level first went up and then rapidly receded; the initial wave height was 45 cm and the oscillations continued for more than 24 hours. The Dubrovnik tide gauge recorded the tsunami waves of few centimetres wave height. The tsunami waves propagated fast over the South Adriatic Pit and were recorded at Bari tide gauge, having initial wave height of some 10 cm and 30 minutes period.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7a31a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d7a31a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>According to newspaper reports the tsunami had strong effects in the port Bar, at Ulcinj and in the Boka Kotorska Bay where one person was drowned by the tsunami wave.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61e1351 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61e1351\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201c<em>In the port of Bar, the Sunday earthquake crashed against the bank a large Italian ocean ship, which then stranded as if it were an egg shell<\/em>\u201d (<em>Vjesnik<\/em>, 1979).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7209e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7209e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201c<em>&#8230; policemen at Ulcinj told us that at the time of the earthquake, the sea receded for three meters away from the coast<\/em> &#8230;\u201d (<em>Ve\u010dernji list<\/em>, 1979, of 16\/04).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddca796 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ddca796\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201c\u2026 <em>(Branimir Vu\u010deti\u0107) was maintaining his boat on the coast, while Luka Cvijetkovi\u0107 (58) and schoolboy Du\u0161ko Tripkovi\u0107 (8) were watching him.
