How Far From Cape Cove to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers, Almanacs & Directories that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Cape Cove to various places of note, such as Parliament Hill.

  • The National Capital at Parliament Hill (Ottawa, ON) is 1,046 miles [1,683.4 km]<1> to the west (W). If you could drive a straight line from Cape Cove to Parliament Hill, with an average speed<2>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take over two days to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 60 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 41 days.

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Cape Cove) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'.
<2>While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day.
<3>The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Cape Cove to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Cape Cove. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 49.6500, Longitude: -54.0500    
<4>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 291.386 degrees.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 287.027 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 286.814 degrees.
