HistoryTlingit Indian name obtained and used by the Russians. In 1805 Captain Lisianski (1814, p. 221), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), called it "L'tooa Bay." It was published in Russian as "Z(aliv) L'tua." by Captain Tebenkov (1852, map 8), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN) and the Russian Hydrographic Dept. Chart 1378 shows "Zal(iv) Altua ili Port Frantsuzov" meaning "Altua Bay or Port of Frenchmen." La Perouse (1797, map 19) originally called the bay "Port des Francais" meaning the "Bay of the Frenchmen." Whalers knew it as Frechman's Bay. La Perouse visited and surveyed the bay in 1786 and made observations about the Indians living there.
