The Clipper Ship Razboinik During a Gun Salute, 22 July 1889, 1889. Creator: Unknown
The Clipper Ship Razboinik During a Gun Salute, 22 July 1889, 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 depicts the clipper ship Razboinik (Pirate) undergoing a grand gun salute on July 22, 1889. The image is a testament to the historic Arctic voyage of the Razboinik and the construction of the Russian settlement of Novo-Mariinskii (present-day Anadyr') on the Bering Sea in northeastern Russia. The album containing this photograph, along with others documenting the expedition, is believed to have once belonged to Emperor Nicholas II of Russia. The Razboinik, a magnificent sailing ship, is seen here with its sails furled and its masts standing tall against the backdrop of a clear, blue sky. The water around the ship is calm, and the air is filled with the thick, white smoke from the gun salute. The Russian flag flies proudly at the stern of the ship, symbolizing the country's presence and claim to this remote and rugged frontier. The photograph is oval-shaped, a common format for portraits and important events during this era. The image captures a moment of celebration and achievement, as the Razboinik and its crew successfully navigated the treacherous waters of the Arctic and made it to the shores of Russia's easternmost territory. The Razboinik's voyage marked the meeting of two distinct worlds - the modern European exploration and settlement of the Arctic, and the traditional Chukchi people who had lived in the region for centuries. This photograph is a reminder of the rich heritage and history that unfolded during this period of exploration and discovery.
