[edit] map

this needs a map that includes the British Columbia portion

does it ever.....this article was originally written as if the term was only Alaskan....Skookum1 (talk) 16:49, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

The BC map book I have shows ferry routes, including the one from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert (and others than continue north into Alaskan waters). Would this be a decent route to map for the Inside Passage? It goes from Port Hardy across Queen Charlotte Sound into Fitz Hugh Sound, then through a series of channels: Lama Pass, Seaforth Channel, Milbanke Sound, Finlayson Channel, Tolmie Channel, Princess Royal Channel, Wright Sound, Grenville Channel, Marcus Pass, to Prince Rupert Harbour. From there routes continue north through Chatham Sound up to Revillagigedo Channel to Ketchikan, Alaska. If this is essentially the BC Inside Passage route I can make a map of it -- or at least put it on The List Of Maps To Make. Pfly (talk) 16:37, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re Coordinates

I removed the bot-placed latlong coordinates, which were at 54-48 and in Alaskan waters somewhere. The Inside Passage begins somewhere around 48 degrees N and ends at 59 degrees and a bit; its midpoint, if that's the premise of a set of coordinates, would be at about 53-30, somewhere in BC waters. I don't think it's viable/relevant to cite a single coordinate for a "place" that's 1000 miles in length.....Skookum1 (talk) 16:49, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
