Merge Orca Bay with Orca Inlet? edit
Judging by the coordinates and descriptions in the two articles, they refer to the same or overlapping bodies of water. Should we merge them, or make more detailed descriptions that distinguish the two? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 06:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- I have never heard a difference in local usage (I'm from Cordova) however the GNIS has two distinct entries. They are located right near each other but are still seperate. See GNIS entries:

- Two government agencies agree. This research was very helpful. Now someone can dive into the articles and make them more clear, or, possibly, merge them into a single article called Orca Bay and Inlet. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:50, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Puerto Cordova edit
- Take a look at this: [1]. Cordova Bay appears to refer to only the eastern tip of what is now Orca Bay, ie the part leading into Cordova. Cannery location is shown. Orca Bay is not named but Orca Inlet is. The strait west of Hawkins Island is marked Hawkins Island Cutoff. Dankarl (talk) 16:45, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- Interesting. The GNIS article that Vedrfolnir found also claims the name refers to Orca Bay, so I have removed the mention of Puerto Córdova from the Orca Inlet article. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:00, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
