Chukchi Aboard a Clipper Ship, 1889. Creator: Unknown
Chukchi Aboard a Clipper Ship, 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
This photograph, titled 'Chukchi Aboard a Clipper Ship, 1889,' offers a glimpse into the historic encounter between the Chukchi people and European explorers during the late 19th century. The image is believed to have been taken on board the clipper ship Razboinik (Pirate), during an Arctic voyage to establish the Russian settlement of Novo-Mariinskii (present-day Anadyr') on the Bering Sea in northeastern Russia. The photograph captures a group of Chukchi men, dressed in fur coats and hats, curiously observing their surroundings from the deck of the ship. Their expressions convey a sense of wonder and fascination as they look up at the sailors and the intricate ropes and rigging of the clipper ship. This meeting of frontiers represents the beginning of cultural exchange and interaction between the indigenous Chukchi people and the Russian explorers. The photograph is part of a collection that includes an album and individual photographs documenting the Arctic voyage and the construction of Novo-Mariinskii. The unique binding, date of acquisition, and inventory number of the album suggest that it once belonged to Emperor Nicholas II, making this photograph a valuable historical artifact. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and the complex history of the Arctic region, where the lives of indigenous peoples intersected with European exploration and settlement. The image also highlights the importance of maritime transportation in the 19th century, as clipper ships played a significant role in the exploration and colonization of distant lands.
