Trip to South America _ Cape Horn




I was told that  Cape Horn, is the southernmost point.
There are two objects can be seen on Cape Horn from the ship: A light house and a memorial.  Online document (http://www.caphorniers.cl/CH_monument.htm) states On December 5th 1992 the Cape Horn Memorial was inaugurated. It was erected through the initiative of the Chilean Section of the Cape Horn Captains Brotherhood, the "Cape Horners"; in memory of the men of the sea from every nation that lost their lives fighting against the merciless forces of nature of the Southern Ocean that prevail in the vicinity of the legendary Cape Horn.
