| History: | "Named by Captain Cook (1785, v. 2, p. 383), RN, on May 24, 1778 because he thought this was the same feature previously named by Vitus Bering. Cook says ""and by what I can gather from the account of Beering's (sic) voyage, and the chart that accompanies it in the English edition, I conclude, that it must be what he called Cape St. Hermogenes * * *."" Wagner (1937, p. 406) says ""a name given by * * * Bering July 26, 1741, to a place concerining the location of which there has been much discussion * * *. This was undoubtedly the north point of Marmot Island (Cook's location) * * *although it is now, I believe, erroneously applied to the eastern point of the island * * *."" The name was published by Captain Tebenkov (1852, map 22), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), as ""M(ys) Germogena"" or ""Cape Germogena.""" |
