Cape Catastrophe in South Australia was named by Matthew Flinders. The area was notorious for shipwrecks in the nineteenth century, but the first recorded shipwreck occurred while Flinders was circumnavigating the Australian continent. As well as the Investigator, Flinders had a small cutter which was used for landing parties. In February 1802, the cutter’s captain went to search for water with a crew of eight. None of them returned. Another man was sent to search for the cutter, but he returned alone, finding only evidence that the cutter had been wrecked on the rocks. Despite searching the coastline extensively, no survivors from the cutter were found: hence Flinders’ naming of the cape Cape Catastrophe.
