BELFAST, Maine — In the 19th century, adventurous Mainers signed up for years-long stints aboard whaling ships or sought passage aboard clipper ships headed to California during the Gold Rush.

The southernmost tip of South America, where the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans meet, was infamous for its strong winds and currents, giant rogue waves and icebergs.
