Cape Alevina
Cape Alevina (Russian: Mys Alevina, Alevin Cape) is a cape on the northern side of the Sea of Okhotsk. It is on the Koni Peninsula and is the southernmost point of Magadan Oblast, Russia.
There is the Alevina Lighthouse on the cape (international code М 8021). Constructed during 1956-1958, it was officially announced in 1959.[http://mayaki-sssr.spb.ru/mayaki-dalnii-vostok/421/ Алевина маяк]
==History==
American whaleships hunted bowhead and gray whales off the cape between 1852 and 1866.Corinthian, of New Bedford, June 18-21, 1852, Old Dartmouth Historical Society (ODHS); Erie, of Fairhaven, Sep. 5, 1852, Nicholson Whaling Collection (NWC); Sea Breeze, of New Bedford, Oct. 7, 1866, ODHS. On 12 July 1851 the ship Houqua (339 tons), Capt. Brown, of New Bedford, was wrecked on the rocks about two miles east of the cape during a fog. Her crew was found on the beach two weeks later by the ship Canton (409 tons), Capt. J. Allen, of the same port, which also salvaged 1,100 of 2,700 bbls of whale oil left aboard the wreck before it broke up.Whalemen’s Shipping List and Merchants’ Transcript (Vol. IX, No. 44, Dec. 30, 1851, p. 174, New Bedford).{{cite book |last=Starbuck |first=Alexander |title=History of the American Whale Fishery from Its Earliest Inception to the year 1876 |year=1878 |publisher=Castle |isbn=1-55521-537-8 }} One side of the bows with the night heads – as well as some spars and driftwood – from the wreck were still visible high up on the rocks two years later.Daniel Wood, of New Bedford, Aug. 13, 1853, NWC.
