180 degrees longitude into the eastern Hemisphere, but does not cross

Hmmm. Assuming the originally defined location of the date line, it would be whatever city is closest to the intersection of the prime meridian, (Greenwich Meridian) and the equator. That point is in the ocean, just south of the northwest extention of the African continent. The city might be in dispute if we take modern re-definitions of the date line into account.
