History
On the night of 7 June 1855, the ship Jefferson (396 tons), of New London, was wrecked on the cape during a dense fog. All hands were saved by the ship Reindeer, of New Bedford, which also salvaged most of the cargo of oil and bone.William Wirt, of New Bedford, June 13, 1855, Nicholson Whaling Collection.The Friend (Vol. IV, No. 9, Sep. 29, 1855, pp. 68 & 72, Honolulu).{{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 }}
