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.

Make certain your browser permissions are set accordingly and that you have the latest Flash plug-in for the full experience, proper look and accurate layout.


If using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, clicking (or pressing the SPACEBAR or ENTER) on the Flash graphics is necessary to activate it. If using the latest versions of
Firefox or Netscape, adjusting the browser trust permissions to "ENABLE MAXIMUM SITE FUNCTIONALITY" is required to fully enjoy Occultopedia's features and Flash graphics. You can do it with confidence. This site does not contain any viruses or any malicious software or script.



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.
