Princess Royal Channel is a channel in the North Coast region of the Canadian province of British Columbia, separating Princess Royal Island from the mainland. [1] The southern half of the channel is also called Graham Reach, [2] and the northern half Fraser Reach. [3]
The southern half of the channel was first charted by George Vancouver in 1793 with his ships Discovery and Chatham, which anchored about mid-way up the channel; James Johnstone, one of Vancouver's lieutenants, charted its northern half the same summer. [4]
