Eendracht (named for the home town of the ship's captain) this remark is to be checked further. as a dutch I can ashure you that "Eendracht" is not a place in the Netherlands. the meaning of the word Eendracht is more like "Unity" or "Harmony"

I'd like to see more information about this passage and it's peril to sailors. Francis Checester writes about traveling through Drakes Passage in his book Gypsy Moth Circles the Globe ( Subcinco 03:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC))
Wording in this section is somewhat misleading. Specifically, the article states that "...Before the passage opened, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were separated entirely...". While the connection between the two Oceans may have been closed at the location of the Drake Passage, they could not have been separated entirely at 41 million years b.p., as the the Isthmus of Panama did not exist at the time. The isthmus only rose to form a land connection between the two American continents in the Pliocene, about 3 million b.p. See the Wikipedia article on the Isthmus of Panama for details.

The Drake passage has rough seas probably because of the Scotia Plate.

Sorry about all the tags, but I came across this article today after hearing about it’s subject in passing and was astounded at how terrible the quality is. Now I am definitely no expert on any of this, but I kind of get the feeling this subject may be important for the trade and the international economy, and deserves better than anything I could possibly do. So could someone with the necessary skills please fix this up for the next reader who comes along looking for information on the Drake Passage? Thank you. Also, would love to know if I applied the article tags correctly, saw many listed for use that appeared to be highly appropriate for this article as it currently sits.

The statement for the first human powered transit of Drake Passage refers to "Their accomplishment" without any indication of who or what conducted the feat, only later in the paragraph referencing another article. For completeness of this brief statement, I think the names of the travellers (" ... was accomplished by ... ") could have been included as a minimum.

The name in Spanish is Mar de Hoces, named for Francisco de Hoces. A person's name isn't typically translated from one language to another, so the translation should be de Hoces Sea, as it appears in the main article on de Hoces himself, rather than Sea of Sickles.
