Prince Frederick Sound

Prince Frederick Sound
Leuchtturm im Frederick Sound

Der Frederick Sound, auch Prince Frederick Sound genannt, ist eine Meerenge im Panhandle des US-Bundesstaats Alaska. Sie liegt im Alexanderarchipel und verläuft zwischen Admiralty Island und dem Festland im Norden und der Kupreanof-Insel im Süden. Der Frederick Sound beginnt im Westen an der Chatham Strait und geht im Südosten in die Dry Strait über. Die Stephens Passage mündet am nördlichsten Punkt in den Sound.

George Vancouver benannte den Sound 1794 nach Friedrich August, Herzog von York und Albany.

Die Fähren des Alaska Marine Highways verkehren im Frederick Sound und laufen dort Petersburg an.
