Note

The named cape on the Canadian map (OpenStreetMap node 12495320487). The record itself gives the landing place, where the paper was redeposited in 1848, as 69°37′42″N 98°41′W, some 15 km to the south-west: nineteenth-century longitudes there are uncertain by kilometres, so the precision stays at within 10 km. Moved from the rounded [-98.3, 69.6].
