Američki kitolovci krstarili su u potrazi za grenlandskim kitovima uz rt između 1855. i 1885.^[2] Zvali su ga Mercury ili Washington Head, prvo ime po brodu Mercury (340 tona) iz New Bedforda, koji je posjetio to područje tijekom svog putovanja 1852.-1855., a drugo ime po brodu Washington (340 tona), iz Sag Harbor, koju je 1855. godine zaledio i iskrcao na obalu blizu rta.^[3]^[4]
