This slideshow at the Christian Science Monitor lists 5 (well, actually 6) of the largest tsunamis in history, at least as far as death tolls. This Wikipedia article lists historically notable tsunamis. The largest (as in tallest wave) was a 1720 foot tall wave in Lituya Bay, Alaska, in 1958, but it was a magatsunami, caused by an impact (in that case, a landslide) into the water. This Wikipedia article lists some other megatsunami. And another list from LiveScience. And a list of the 10 most devastating. Peru has been the victim of several large tsunamis.
