| dbo:abstract | Der Portland Canal ist ein 116 km langer und im Mittel 2,4 km breiter Fjord an der Westküste Nordamerikas. Der Portland Canal bildet bis zur die Südgrenze des Alaska Panhandle (USA) zur kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. In sein Kopfende münden die Flüsse Salmon River und Bear River. Dort befinden sich die Orte Hyder in Alaska und Stewart in Kanada. Der Fjord durchschneidet die Boundary Ranges, ein Teilgebirge der Coast Mountains, in südlicher Richtung. Der Portland Canal vereinigt sich schließlich mit dem und der zum . 11 km oberhalb des unteren Endes zweigt am Nordende der Pearse Island der nach Südwesten ab. Der Portland Canal wurde von Kapitän George Vancouver von der Royal Navy am 15. August 1793 nach William Henry Cavendish-Bentinck, 3. Duke of Portland, Home Secretary zwischen 1794 und 1801, benannt. Im Jahr 1903 legte die Grenzkommission die Grenze zwischen Kanada und Alaska entlang der Mitte dieses Gewässers fest. (de) Portland Canal is an arm of Portland Inlet, one of the principal inlets of the British Columbia Coast. It is approximately 114 km (71 mi) long. The Portland Canal forms part of the border between southeastern Alaska and British Columbia. The name of the entire inlet in the Nisga'a language is Kʼalii Xkʼalaan, with xkʼalaan meaning "at the back of (someplace)". The upper end of the inlet was home to the Tsetsaut (Jitsʼaawit in Nisgaʼa), who after being decimated by war and disease were taken under the protection of the Laxsgiik (Eagle) chief of the Nisga'a, who holds the inlet's title in native law. Despite its naming as a canal, the inlet is a fjord, a completely natural and not man-made geographic feature, and extends 114.6 km (71.2 mi) northward from the Portland Inlet at Pearse Island, British Columbia, to Stewart, British Columbia and Hyder, Alaska. Observatory Inlet joins the Portland Canal at Ramsden Point, where both merge with Portland Inlet. Pearse Canal joins Portland Canal at the north end of Pearse Island. Portland Canal was given its name by George Vancouver in 1793, in honour of William Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland. The use of the word canal to name inlets on the British Columbia Coast and the Alaska Panhandle is a legacy of the Spanish exploration of the area in the 18th century. For example, Haro Strait between Victoria and the San Juan Islands was originally Canal de Haro. The English cognate to the Spanish canal is "channel", which is found throughout the coast, cf. Dean Channel. George Vancouver used both terms in his naming of inlets, Hood Canal for example. The placement of the international boundary in the Portland Canal was a major issue during the negotiations over the Alaska boundary dispute, which heated up as a result of the Klondike Gold Rush and ended by arbitration in 1903. Together with Pearse Canal and Tongass Passage, the Portland Canal is defined by the Alaska Boundary Settlement (the Hay-Herbert Treaty) as part of Portland Channel (Canal), a term used as forming the marine boundary in the Anglo-Russian Treaty of 1825 but which was undefined at the time. (en) Le canal Portland, en anglais Portland Canal, est un fjord du Canada et des États-Unis qui constitue l'une des ramifications du golfe de Portland, l'un des principaux fjords de la côte de la Colombie-Britannique. Il mesure 114 kilomètres (71 mi) de longueur et forme une partie de la frontière entre l'État d'Alaska aux États-Unis et la province de la Colombie-Britannique au Canada. Malgré son nom de canal, il s'agit d'un fjord naturel qui s'étend vers le nord sur 114 kilomètres (71 mi) depuis le golfe de Portland au sud jusqu'à Stewart en Colombie-Britannique et à Hyder en Alaska au nord. L'emplacement précis de la frontière passant par le canal Portland a fait l'objet de négociations qui se sont terminées en 1903. À son départ, on trouve la ville abandonnée d'Anyox. Son nom provient de la langue Nisgha et signifie « à l'arrière » (de quelque chose). Sa partie amont était le domaine du peuple Tsetsaut, de langue athapascane, qui a été décimé par la guerre et les épidémies. Son nom anglais lui a été donné par George Vancouver en 1793, en l'honneur de William Cavendish-Bentinck, troisième duc de Portland. L'appellation de « canal » provient des explorateurs espagnols au XVIIIe siècle qui employait le mot dans le sens connu dans leur langue.
