Port Moller, Alaska
Port Moller is an unincorporated community in the Aleutians East Borough, in the U.S. state of Alaska. It is named after the bay of the same name, which was in turn named for the sloop Moller, used by Captain M.N. Staniukovich, of Captain Friedrich Benjamin von Lütke's expedition, to explore the bay in 1828.[1][2] The name was collected by the United States Geological Survey between 1976 and 1981, and entered into the Geographic Names Information System on March 31, 1981.[1]
