Depending on which Cape Disappointment you mean:

The one in Washington was discovered by John Meares, a British fur trader who was shipwrecked while sailing down the Columba

The one in South Georgia by James Cook

But in Antarctica the Cape Disappointment was discovered by Otto Nordenskiold, who was leading a Swedish Expedition down there.
