Near three o'clock in the afternoon on July 6, fifteen miles south of shore, the Abraham Lincoln doubled that solitary islet at the tip of the South American continent, that stray rock Dutch seamen had named Cape Horn after their hometown of Hoorn.
Augusztus 6-án délután 3 órakor az Abraham Lincoln tizenöt mérfölddel délnek kanyarodva megkerülte a Horn-fokot. Ez a magános sziklaszirt az amerikai világrész legalsó csücske.
