Houston Stewart Channel is a strait in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada.
Maritime fur trader George Dixon called it Ibberston Sound in 1787.
American fur traders called it Barrell Sound, so-named by John Kendrick and Robert Gray in 1789, in honour of Joseph Barrell, one of the owners of the ships Columbia Rediviva and Lady Washington.
[1] The Channel was the location for conflict between the Haida and two visiting fur trading vessels in 1794, the Ino and the Resolution.
