Nakat Bay

Nakat Bay is a bay in Southeast Alaska, U.S.A. The bay extends northeast 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from Cape Fox.[1] It was charted in 1793 by George Vancouver.[2] The bay's name comes from a Tlingit name published in 1853 on a Russian Hydrographic Department chart as "Bukh(ta) Nakat" (English: Nakat Bay).[1]
