English: Cape Cod (or simply The Cape) is an arm-shaped peninsula forming the Easternmost portion of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, in the Northeastern United States. It is coextensive with Barnstable County. Although Cape Cod was originally connected to the mainland, the Cape Cod Canal, completed in 1914, effectively transformed Cape Cod into a large island.
Français : Le cap Cod (le cap aux morues), en anglais Cape Cod, est un cap ou une presqu'île sur la côte Est des États-Unis. Il se trouve dans le sud-est de l'État du Massachusetts.
Deutsch: Cape Cod (deutsch: Kap Kabeljau) ist eine 1.033 km² große Halbinsel im Südosten von Massachusetts in den USA. Im Jahre 1914 wurde ein Kanal gebaut. Die extrem langgestreckte Halbinsel wurde somit vom Festland getrennt, und die Durchfahrt vom Cape Cod Bay zum Atlantik erleichtert.
Nederlands: Cape Cod is oorspronkelijk een schiereiland aan de kust van Massachusetts. Eigenlijk is het nu een eiland omdat een kanaal het scheidt van het vasteland. Cape Cod betekent zoiets als 'kaap van de kabeljauw'. Het schiereiland kreeg deze naam al van de Europeanen in de vroege 17e eeuw toen er nog geen sprake van kolonisatie was. Er waren toen behalve bij Newfoundland ook al enorm rijke visgronden van kabeljauw bekend in de buurt van Cape Cod. Ieder jaar kwamen er grote vissersvloten uit Europa om hier te vissen. Later bleven sommige vissers het hele jaar aanwezig en vestigden zich ook op Cape Cod. Tegenwoordig is er nog steeds commerciële visserij maar die heeft het moeilijk omdat door overbevissing nog maar weinig kabeljauw is overgebleven op de eens zo rijke visgronden. Door zeebiologen wordt zelfs gevreesd dat de kabeljauw zich niet meer kan herstellen.
Norsk bokmål: Cape Cod (1033 km²) er en armformet halvøy som utgjør den østligste delen av staten Massachusetts, nordøst i Amerikas forente stater. Den er identisk med Barnstable County. Selv om Cape Cod opprinnelig hang sammen med fastlandet, ble den første Cape Cod-kanal fullført i 1914 og forandret Cape Cod i realiteten til en stor øy.
Polski: Cape Cod, przez miejscową ludność nazywany The Cape - półwysep w kształcie ramienia, położony w USA, w stanie Massachusetts w Nowej Anglii. Jego powierzchnia to 1033 km². Stanowi główną część hrabstwa Barnstable. Półwysep jest najbardziej na wschód wysuniętą częścią stanu Massachusetts. W roku 1914 ukończono budowę kanału, który oddzielił półwysep od stałego lądu. Słowo cod w języku angielskim znaczy dorsz, zaś cape - przylądek, a nazwę, nawiązującą do obfitości tych ryb w tym terenie, nadał mu podróżnik Bartholomew Gosnold w roku 1602
Slovenščina: Cape Cod je polotok v severovzhodni ameriški zvezni državi Massachusetts. Razteza se na površini 1033 km². Čeprav je bil prvotno povezan s kopnim, je leta 1914 po izgradnji kanala Cape Cod pravzaprav postal velik otok.
