Prince William Sound in Alaska was not always known by that name. When Captain James Cook entered the sound in 1778, he named it Sandwich Sound in honour of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, and James Cook's patron.
When Cook's maps were returned to England, the editors changed the name to Prince William Sound to honour the man who would later become King William IV, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
