Claim: Cape Carnot was discovered by Matthew Flinders in 1802 and officially named by the government in 1913.
Evidence: Cape Carnot is one of a number of coastal features first discovered but not subsequently named by Matthew Flinders in February 1802 and which remained unnamed. In 1913, the Government of South Australia gave the unnamed feature the name proposed by the Baudin expedition when it visited in April 1802.
