Prince of Wales Reach is the first arm of the Jervis Inlet and is located within the Coast Mountain Range of British Columbia Canada. This arm was named during the 1860 survey by the HMS Plumber who charted all of the area and was named after Albert Edward - the Prince Of Wales, later Edward VII, who was the second child born in 1841 to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of England.[1]
