Prince William Sound - Nick
Prince William Sound (red placemark)
Showing Anchorage (upper left), Valdez (upper right) and Seward (lower left)
Wikipedia has a bit of history about this place:
James Cook entered Prince William Sound in 1778 [right in the middle of the American Revolutionary War] . . . was named to honour George III's third son Prince William Henry, then aged 13 and serving as a midshipman in the Royal Navy.
Which would have made him a contemporary of the fictional Lucky Jack Aubrey which is important because I am almost done with rereading the second volume of the series.
