Possession Sound is part of
Gedney Island
, also called Hat Island, is located in Possession Sound.
Possession Sound was named by
George III by holding a ceremony claiming possession of the land of "New Georgia" for Britain.[1] Due to his circumnavigation of the world, Vancouver's dates are off by one. June 3 was, by his reckoning, June 4, the king's birthday. His possession ceremony also involved the naming of Possession Sound, Port Gardner, Port Susan, and the Gulf of Georgia.[2]
In 1825 a large piece of the southern tip of
The Washington State Route 525, Mukilteo-Clinton passenger ferry run crosses the narrowest section of Possession Sound.
