The cape was named on April 12, 1788 by British fur trader John Meares who was sailing south from Nootka in search of trade. After a storm, he turned his ship around just north of the Cape and therefore just missed the discovery of the Columbia River.-Wikipedia Despite it's name and the fact it spends 106 days shrouded in fog it is a lovely, picturesque place. ‰ÛÓ Meredith Watson
