Disappointment; Cape at mouth of Co- 
lumbia River, Wash. On the 6th of 
July, 1778, Meares, in the ship Nootka, 
arrived off the cape and found that a 
"prodigious easterly swell rolled on the 
shore," and he had soundings in 16 
fathoms over a hard, sandy bottom. 
"After we had rounded the promontory, 
a large bay, as we had imagined, opened 
to our view, that bore a very promising 
appearance and into which we steered, 
with every encouraging expectation. 
As we steered into the bay the water 
shoaled to 9, 8, and 7 fathoms, where 
breakers were seen right ahead, and 
from the masthead they were observed 
to extend across the bay. We therefore 
hauled out." The name Cape Disap- 
pointment was given to the promontory. 
It was called Cape Hancock by Gray in 
1792. He changed this name to Cape 
Disappointment upon hearing that 
Meares had so named it. Cape Disap- 
pointment retained by Vancouver, by 
Belcher in 1839, and by Ex. Ex. in 1841. 
Duflot de Mofras, 1844, calls it Cape San 
Roque or Disappointment. It was 
called Cape Hancock or Disappoint- 
ment at the first examination of the en- 
trance to the river, in 1850, and the 
name Hancock subsequently in a sec- 
ondary manner in the Lighthouse List, 
but the name Disappointment is that 
used on the official charts and by all 
navigators.— Paei/ic Coast Pilot, 1889.
