'The Fairest Cape"
‘We ranne hard aboard the cape, finding report of the Portugals to be most false, who afferme that it is the most dangerous cape of the world, never without intolerable storms and present dangers to travellers which come neare the same. This cape is the most stately thing and the fairest cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth.’ From the journal of Sir Francis Drake, 1580.
