A strait is a narrow channel of water that connects two larger bodies of water, and thus lies between two land masses.
Straits usually lie on important shipping routes, and many wars have been fought for control of these straits.

Throughout the whole of Clarence Strait, we have on our left the great Prince ot Wales Island, the home of the Hydahs, with whose marvelous skill in carving, the tourist doubtless became familiar during his brief stay at Victoria.
As we approach them, their rocky, precipitous and deeply fissured sides (the last the result of glacial action, which is plainly visible) afford a striking diversity of outline and color, which, added to the beauties of light and shade lent them by passing clouds, have a very fine effect.
Clarence Strait is, indeed, a magnificent sheet of water, well worthy of its place in that remarkable series of devious waterways through which our voyage lies.
