Cape Saint James
Cape Saint James is on the southern end of Saint James Island. It was named so by Dixon, who rounded the cape on Saint James's day, in 1787.1 The Haida First Nation name for the cape is Rangxiid Kun.2 The cape has been home to a lighthouse, a meteorological station, and a WWII radar station—as of 1992, the lighthouse has become automated.3
