Names
[ edit ]
In the 19th century, Musu Point was variously known as Cape Bruat [5] [6] or Boltin [5] [6] [7] Mong-pai-kat [7] Japanese occupation of Korea , it was known as Busui Tan .
Geography
[ edit ]
Musu Point is a promontory consisting of high reddish cliffs projecting boldly south but tapering down to the sea at its apex,[3] East Korea Bay . It also forms the eastern end of a narrow but deep bay extending about 40 miles (64 km ) west to Yongdae Gap .[8] m ).[8]
A rock 16.8 m (55 ft ) high lies just south of the point. Another, considered to resemble two crouching dogs when approached from the north or south, lies just off the coast 1.8 nautical miles (3.3 km; 2.1 mi ) to its north.[3]
The area is subject to abnormal magnetic variations .[3]
History
[ edit ]
The Japanese passenger ship Koshun Maru OSK Line , was wrecked off the point in 1910.[9] Musu Dan Lighthouse , rising from near the cape's south extremity,[3] [1] ft ) white structure is still active, but closed to the public.[1] National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency notes, however, that "the existence and operation of all navigational aids should be considered unreliable on the east coast of North Korea".[10]
