Description: Dutch Cape Horn Foundation Cape Horn is the southernmost tip of the American continent, stretching far into the stormy sea area known as the Roaring Forties, because of the thundering west winds. This cape was on the last route that was still viable for sailing ships carrying cargo, such as grain from Australia and nitrates from Chili to Europe. On these trips rounding the Horn was at one and the same time the blackest hour in the already difficult existence of the crew and the high point of their seamanship.
