Sorry. We've heard of Cape Horn, Cape of Good Hope, Cape Kennedy, Cape Town,

Cape Cod, Cape Girardeau, Cap Hatien, Cape May, and Cape Canaveral, among

others, and we don't know which cape you might be thinking of.

And when you get there, please don't ask the ship's Captain "What's the nearest line

of latitude/longitude from where we are ?" You would not ask a taxi driver "What's the

nearest street address to where we're at ?"

Ask the Captain "What is our present latitude and longitude ?"

There is no standard set of 'lines'. You can draw a 'line' on your map, if you feel like it,

that shows whatever latitude and longitude you happen to be located.

At.

Please note that the "Cape of Good Hope" (or Kaap de Goode Hoop) IS a general location/ region.

It is NOT a specific location, and does NOT specifically refer to Cape Town per se.

If anything it describes the "Cape Peninsula" and was first used in nautical terms, as was "The Cape of Storms".

The general latitude and longitude would be in the region of:

  1. 33° 55′ 31″ S, 18° 25′ 26″ E
  2. -33.925278, 18.423889
