Unloading of the Provisions, 20 July, 1889. Creator: Unknown
Unloading of the Provisions, 20 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Unloading of Provisions, 20 July, 1889: A Historic Moment in the Arctic Voyage of Razboinik (Pirate) This photograph captures an essential moment in the historic Arctic voyage of the clipper ship Razboinik (Pirate) as it unloads provisions on the shores of Anadyr', Russia, on 20 July, 1889. The image is from an album that documents the expedition's journey and the construction of the settlement of Novo-Mariinskii (present-day Anadyr') on the Bering Sea. The album, which is part of the Russian State Library's collection, provides a unique insight into the expedition's arrival at Avacha Bay. The photograph shows a group of men, likely crew members, unloading provisions from a boat onto the beach. The boats in the background suggest the arrival of more supplies, while the men in the foreground work diligently to transport the provisions to the shore. The photograph is a testament to the meeting of frontiers, as the Russian expedition encountered the local Chukchi people and explored the geographical features of the northeastern Russian coast. The image is a valuable historical record of the expedition's arrival and the construction of the settlement, which marked the beginning of Russian presence in the region. The photograph is a still image from the 19th century, a time when photography was an emerging art form. The image's composition, with the men and boats arranged in a balanced and orderly manner, demonstrates the photographer's skill in capturing the essence of the moment. The image's historical significance and artistic merit make it an essential addition to any collection of Russian or Arctic history.
