Petrof Bay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Petrof Bay is a small bay on the west side of Kuiu Island in the Alexander Archipelago in southeastern Alaska, United States. It is located at 56° N 134° W and opens into the Chatham Strait.

The bay was named in 1924 for U.S. Census Bureau employee Ivan Petrof, whose reports of his travels in the late 1800s are a valuable source of Alaska history for that period.
