# Bay Of Pillars

**Country:** United States  
**Water Body:** Alaska-Canada coastal waters; North Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Natural)  
**GPS:** 56.6000, -134.2333

Bay of Pillars is an anchorage, not a freight port, and the distinction matters for anyone planning cargo movements in southeast Alaska. Cut into the west coast of Kuiu Island within the Tongass wilderness, the bay offers sheltered natural anchorage in moderate depths but has no wharves, cargo gear or customs presence, with only the ruins of an 1890s salmon cannery ashore. Containers, breakbulk and dangerous goods cannot be handled here; the nearest commercial ports are Petersburg and Sitka, each roughly 84 km away. Its commercial freight relevance is effectively nil.
