✅Due to blockage of Suez Canal, Ships were diverted around Africa’s 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.

Contemporary geographic knowledge instead states the southernmost point of Africa is Cape Agulhas.

✅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.
