The great Russian navigator, A.I. Chirikov: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The great Russian navigator, A.I. Chirikov" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Aleksei Chirikov, Vitus Berings second in command, contributed greatly to the organization, preparation, and successes of Berings first two North Pacific expeditions. In fact, he reached Alaska a day and a half ahead of Bering.Chirikov was not only a competent naval officer but also an important contributor to the cartography of eighteenth-century Russia. Despite his achievements, few Russian scholars have given attention to Chirikov and his role in the second Bering expedition.Thus it was not until 1953 when Vasilii A. Divin wrote Velikii russkii moreplavatel A. I. Chirikov that a full-length study of his career was published. It is that volume which appears here. A preface, annotations, supplementary bibliography, and comprehensive index are included.
