Album Info:
In March of 1778, Captain James Cook visited the waters off the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula. An opening along the coast had "flattered" Captain Cook into thinking he had located a harbor or passage, prompting him to name the place Cape Flattery. Captain Cook noted in his logbook: "In this very latitude geographers have placed the pretended Strait of Juan de Fuca. But nothing of that kind presented itself to our view, nor is it probable that any such thing ever existed."
