Port Snettisham

Port Snettisham is a narrow fjord southeast of Juneau in the U.S. state of Alaska. It is a semi protected deep water port that was developed to transport many mineral deposits found in the Snettisham Peninsula. Lieutenant Joseph Whidbey of the Royal Navy discovered the fjord on August 12, 1794; George Vancouver named it after the town of Snettisham in England.〔(USGS GNIS Feature Detail Report: Port Snettisham )〕
