Cape Horn
A
steep headland at the south of
Horn Island,
Tierra del Fuego,
Magallanes region, Chile,
generally considered the tip of South America (southernmost point), and the fiercest place on
all the seven seas according to the judgment of most sailing men.
Discovered
in 1616 by Dutch explorer
Willem Cornelis Schouten (1580–1625) and named
after his birthplace (Hoorn, Netherlands), until 1848
the traffic at the cape consisted mainly of whalers and vessels in the China
trade.
The discovery of gold in California led hundreds of ships to attempt
the passage, facing violent storms, towering seas, and rocky coasts. Many
did not make it, running aground on reefs, shoals, and rocky shores;
others limped into harbor at the
Falkland Islands, three hundred miles to
the east, for repairs or scuttling.
The cape was the sea route between the Atlantic and
the Pacific Oceans until the opening of the
Panama Canal in 1914. The wrecks of
ships that never left those waters now make up the most remarkable maritime
graveyard to be seen anywhere.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate
programs, and the little revenue I get from these is to pay for hosting,
bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
pages — and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep and maintenance.
