Other locations named Cape Smyth are: (1) the south-western point of Melville Island, between Warrington Bay and Hardy Bay, in the Canadian Northwest Territories; (2) Inuit ‘Nuwak’ (‘north point’) just west of Point Barrow, Alaska, the most northerly point of U.S. territory. The latter, briefly also called ‘Cape North’, was applied by Captain Frederick Beechey of the Blossom for (later Admiral) William Smyth (c. 1800–1877) who surveyed it with others from that ship in 1826.
