The Right Side of the Quarterdeck with Cargo for the Anadyr Expedition, 1889. Creator: Unknown
The Right Side of the Quarterdeck with Cargo for the Anadyr Expedition, 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 'The Right Side of the Quarterdeck with Cargo for the Anadyr Expedition, 1889,' captures a moment on board the clipper ship Razboinik (Pirate) during its voyage to northeastern Russia. The image offers a glimpse into the industrial and historic significance of this Arctic journey, which resulted in the construction of the settlement of Novo-Mariinskii (present-day Anadyr') on the Bering Sea. The photograph shows two men on the quarterdeck, engaged in the loading of cargo. The cargo, consisting of building materials such as lumber and timber, is carefully secured with ropes to ensure safe transportation. The men, dressed in heavy clothing, appear focused and determined as they work against the backdrop of the open sea and the vast expanse of the ship's deck. The photograph is from a collection that documents the Arctic voyage of the Razboinik 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. The album contains photographs of the local Chukchi people, views of the harbor Petropavlovsk, the village of Nikol'skoe on Bering Island, and Novo-Mariinskii, where the first building is shown under construction. This image is a testament to the meeting of frontiers and the challenges of industrialization in the late 19th century. The photograph's historical value lies in its documentation of a significant moment in Russian history, and its artistic merit lies in its ability to capture the human element of a larger industrial endeavor. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the past.
