Shelikof Strait
The Shelikof Strait is a strait in southern Alaska between the Alaska mainland and Kodiak and Afognak islands. The Cook Inlet is at its northern end.
The strait is named after Grigory Shelikhov, also spelled Shelikof, the Russian fur trader who founded the first Russian settlement in what is now Alaska at Three Saints Bay on Kodiak Island in 1784.
