Cape of Good Hope
The Cape of Good Hope is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa.
A common misconception is that the Cape of Good Hope is the southern tip of Africa.
This misconception was based on the misbelief that the Cape was the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
Contemporary geographic knowledge instead states the southernmost point of Africa is Cape Agulhas about to the east- southeast.
The currents of the two oceans meet at the point where the warm- water Agulhas current meets the cold- water Benguela current and turns back on itself.
That oceanic meeting point fluctuates between Cape Agulhas and Cape Point( about east of the Cape of Good Hope).
When following the western side of the African coastline from the equator, however, the Cape of Good Hope marks the point where a ship begins to travel more eastward than southward.
Thus, the first modern rounding of the cape in 1488 by Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias was a milestone in the attempts by the Portuguese to establish direct trade relations with the Far East( although Herodotus mentioned a claim that the Phoenicians had done so far earlier).
Dias called the cape" Cabo das TormentasCape of Storms"), which was the original name of the" Cape of Good Hope".
As one of the great capes of the South Atlantic Ocean, the Cape of Good Hope has long been of special significance to sailors, many of whom refer to it simply as" the Cape".
It is a waypoint on the Cape Route and the clipper route followed by clipper ships to the Far East and Australia, and still followed by several offshore yacht races.
The term" Cape of Good Hope" is also used in three other ways:

Cape Colony
The Cape of Good Hope, also known as the Cape Colony, was a British colony in present- day South Africa, named after the Cape of Good Hope.
The British colony was preceded by an earlier Dutch colony of the same name, the" Kaap de Goede Hoop", established in 1652 by the Dutch East India Company.
The Cape was under Dutch rule from 1652 to 1795 and again from 1803 to 1806.
The Dutch lost the colony to Great Britain following the 1795 Battle of Muizenberg, but had it returned following the 1802 Peace of Amiens.
It was re-occupied by the UK following the Battle of Blaauwberg in 1806, and British possession affirmed with the Anglo- Dutch Treaty of 1814.
The Cape of Good Hope then remained in the British Empire, becoming self- governing in 1872, and uniting with three other colonies to form the Union of South Africa in 1910.
It then was renamed the Province of the Cape of Good Hope.
South Africa became a sovereign state in 1931 by the Statute of Westminster.
In 1961 it became the Republic of South Africa and obtained its own monetary unit called the Rand.
Following the 1994 creation of the present- day South African provinces, the Cape Province was partitioned into the Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, and Western Cape, with smaller parts in North West province.
The Cape of Good Hope was coextensive with the later Cape Province, stretching from the Atlantic coast inland and eastward along the southern coast, constituting about half of modern South Africa: the final eastern boundary, after several wars against the Xhosa, stood at the Fish River.
In the north, the Orange River, also known as the Gariep River, served as the boundary for some time, although some land between the river and the southern boundary of Botswana was later added to it.
From 1878, the colony also included the enclave of Walvis Bay and the Penguin Islands, both in what is now Namibia.
Province of Cape of Good Hope Official Gazette
The Province of Cape of Good Hope Official Gazette was the government gazette of the Province of the Cape of Good Hope.
It was published in Cape Town from June 1910 and replaced the" Cape of Good Hope Government Gazette"( 1826- 1910) when Cape Colony became a Province.
