Narrative

on W coast of Powell Island SE of Whale Skerries, South Orkney Islands, was charted by Powell, 13 December 1821, and so named probably in reference to his and Palmer's reluctance to terminate their E-ward cruise because of depleted provisions and unfavourable winds (Powell, chart, 1822a; BA chart 1775, 17.viii.1934; APC, 1955, p.8). Cap Disappointment (Powell, 1824b, p.108). Cap Dissapointement [sic] (Powell, 1824a, map facing p.5). The cape was recharted by DI in 1933. Cabo Chasco [translation of English name] (Argentina. MM chart 31, 1954).
