Yes, but not consistent with just a Lunar pull theory, as Kepler seemed to be positing. Galileo did get to visit with ship captains. In fact, one captain told him that his (Galileo's) 24 hour tide cycle for Lisban was incorrect, so he had to drop this as one of his arguments.

IIRC, the Bay of Fundy has a tidal resonance that piles wave upon wave as it sloshes back and forth, which is somewhat the idea Galileo had.

Galileo, it is believed, had observed water sloshing in a barge and reasoned that tides were a very similar circumstance of water building up on the shoreline, just like upon the barge's bulkhead.

As a kid, I always dreamed of surfing a tidal wave (I never heard them called tsunamis), until I discovered how slow they were. [But then I learned about tidal bores!]
