Another Phase of Unloading, 12 July, 1889. Creator: Unknown
Another Phase of Unloading, 12 July, 1889. From a collection consisting of an album and individual photographs that document the Arctic voyage in 1889 of the clipper ship Razboinik (Pirate) and construction of the settlement of Novo-Mariinskii (present-day Anadyr') on the Bering Sea in northeastern Russia. The unique binding, date of acquisition, and inventory number of the album suggest that it belonged to the photograph collection of Emperor Nicholas II. The album contains photographs of the local Chukchi people and views of the harbor Petropavlovsk, the village of Nikol'skoe on Bering Island, and Novo-Mariinskii, where construction of the first building is shown.

Another Phase of Unloading, 12 July, 1889 - A Glimpse into Russia's Arctic Voyage and Settlement Construction
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "Another Phase of Unloading, 12 July, 1889." Taken during the Arctic voyage of the clipper ship Razboinik (Pirate) and the construction of Novo-Mariinskii settlement on the Bering Sea in northeastern Russia. The creator remains unknown, but its acquisition by Emperor Nicholas II suggests its importance.
The photograph is part of an album that offers a unique insight into this remarkable expedition. It showcases various aspects such as local Chukchi people, views of Petropavlovsk harbor, Nikol'skoe village on Bering Island, and Novo-Mariinskii itself. This particular image unveils the very first building under construction at Novo-Mariinskii.
As we delve into this historical scene frozen in time, we witness men unloading vital building materials from lumber-laden ships onto Anadyr's rugged coast. These brave individuals play a crucial role in shaping Russia's frontier expansion during the late nineteenth century.
The composition exudes an air of industriousness against a backdrop dominated by Avacha Bay's vastness and the majestic Pacific Ocean beyond. The monochromatic palette adds to its timeless appeal while emphasizing every detail - from weathered planks to determined faces etched with determination.
This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity amidst challenging geographical features. It symbolizes not only an era marked by exploration but also highlights Russia's rich heritage in maritime industry and settlement development.
Preserved within Russian State Library archives today, this extraordinary visual artifact invites us to reflect upon our shared past while celebrating mankind's relentless pursuit of progress. Let it transport you back to that fateful day - Another Phase of Unloading on July 12, 1889 - when the foundations of Novo-Mariinskii were laid and a new chapter in history began.
