History

Named in 1889 by Lieutenant Commander H. B. Mansfield, U.S. Navy (USN), for H. L. Ford, U.S. Navy (USN), Master-of-Arms and a member of his surveying party. "It is very narrow at one point. Floating ice from glaciers, with falling tide, jamming in this contracted throat make it a dangerous place"; giving it the name "Fords Terror."
