Laredo Channel is a channel in the North Coast region of the Canadian province of British Columbia, separating Princess Royal Island and Aristazabal Island.[1] It connects with Laredo Sound to the south and Caamaño Sound to the north.[2][3] In 1792 the Spanish naval officer Jacinto Caamaño, commanding the frigate Aranzazu, explored the area and named Laredo Channel (Canal de Laredo), probably after the port city of Laredo, Spain.[4][5][6]
