Re: Alaskan Place Names -- Discussion
Possibly the loogkeeper didn't read Pt on the map... if the map was this one it's pretty probable, i did read Lockwood Rock as well at first glance :D We had the buoy as "Wrangell Narrows Channel Buoy 1" in the db, added an alternate name to it and to geonames as well. The buoy has been co...
