Cape Levenshtern


Cape Levenshtern is a cape on the northeast coast of Sakhalin Island in the western Sea of Okhotsk. It is rounded and rugged. It lies 37 km to the south-southeast of Cape Elizabeth, the northern point of the island.

History

On the night of 7 June 1855, the ship Jefferson, of New London, was wrecked on the cape during a dense fog. All hands were saved by the ship Reindeer, of New Bedford, which also salvaged most of the cargo of oil and bone.
