Boca de Quadra


The Boca de Quadra is a bay extending southwest from the Keta River to Revillagigedo Channel in Southeastern Alaska.

The bay was named in 1792 for Juan Francisco de Bodega y Quadra by Jacinto Caamano, in relation to Quadra's expeditions and surveys in the region in 1775-79. The name was adopted by Captain George Vancouver, RN who explored this estuary on August 6, 1793.
