The 1867 Keelung earthquake occurred off the northern coast of Taiwan on the morning of December 18 with a magnitude of 7.0. It produced strong shaking that seriously damaged the cities of Keelung and Taipei. A tsunami drowned hundreds and had a run-up exceeding 15 m (49 ft), possibly the only confirmed widely destructive and deadly tsunami in Taiwan's history. The total death toll was estimated to be 580 while more than 100 were injured. It was followed by aftershocks that were felt on average ten times a day.
