Interesting. In his memoirs, W.T. Sherman recounts how as a young officer posted to California, he traveled by ship, all the way around Tierra del Fuego and back north. IIRC, Sherman’s ship was wrecked in the approach to SF Bay...

Made it through Tierra del Fuego only to be sunk approaching SF bay. Now that’s a slap in the fantail.
