April 1, 1946—the tsunami that took the schoolchildren.

A site in Laupahoehoe, Hawaii, Laupāhoehoe is filed here for what the record attaches to it. April 1, 1946—the tsunami that took the schoolchildren. The file’s recurring figure goes by a name, not a description: the schoolchildren. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. The site is open to visitors.

Laupahoehoe is the '46 — the April 1 that's the tsunami, the 24 that's the dead. The school was the point — the '16 children' that's the lost, the '4 teachers' that's the with them. The 'fish' is the lure — the 'washed up' that's the excitement, the 'come quick' that's the cry.
The monument is the marble — the Izumi that's the builder, the 'names' that's the etched. The '2,300 miles' is the distance — the Aleutian that's the source, the '5 hours' that's the travel. Laupahoehoe is the deadliest — the 'modern Hawaii' that's the disaster, the 'April Fool's' that's the date.
The file keeps Laupahoehoe: the 1946 tsunami, the 24 dead, the school point, and the monument.
Laupahoehoe is the archive's Hawaii file — the school's wave.
