History of Shelikof Bay

This feature was probably named in the 1850's by the Russian American Company for Grigori Ivanovich Shelikov, founder of the Russian American Company. The name is shown on a Russian American Company map of 1850 as "Port Meri ili Zal(iv) Shelikhova," meaning "Port Mary of Shelikov Bay." The name "Port Mary" was given in 1794 by Captain George Vancouver, Royal Navy (RN); "Ensenada de Guadalupe," i.e. "Guadalupe Entrance," on August 17, 1775 by Don Juan de la y Quadra (Wagner, 1937, p. 460).
