Three Saints Bay
Three Saints Bay ((ロシア語:Бухта Трёх Святителей), r ''Bukhta Trëkh Svyatitelyei'') is a -long inlet on the southeast side of Kodiak Island, Alaska, north of Sitkalidak Strait. It is southwest of Kodiak. The Three Saints Bay Site is an archaeological site which was the location of the first Russian settlement in Alaska, Three Saints Harbor (, ''Gavan’ Trekh Svyatitelyei''). The settlement was founded in 1784 by Grigory Shelikhov,〔Brown, S.R., 2009, Merchant Kings, New York:St. Martin's Press, ISBN 9780312616113〕 but the main settlement was moved to Pavlovskaya, now the city of Kodiak, in 1792.〔Khlebnikov, K.T., 1973, Baranov, Chief Manager of the Russian Colonies in America, Kingston: The Limestone Press, ISBN 0919642500〕 The Three Saints Bay Site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978.〔
==History==
Although Russian fur hunters had established temporary shore stations in Alaska earlier, the Three Saints site was intended to be a permanent colonial settlement. The site was poorly chosen, for the hillside above the shore area was too steep to build on, and the shore area was too small for a substantial settlement. When it was visited in 1790, it was described as a cluster of small structures (probably barabaras), with a population of about fifty men and a small number of women. The site was harmed by subsidence and a probable tsunami in the wake of a 1788 earthquake, and Alexander Baranov in 1791 began moving the settlement to the location of present-day Kodiak. The site continued to be occupied as a smaller station of lesser importance until roughly the mid-19th century, at which time it was relocated to a site about away.
Only a few remnants of the Russian occupation remain on the surface. These are mainly pits and rectangular depressions, indications of where structures were located, and some plants that are evidence of the small-scale agriculture which was practiced there. The settlement's cemetery was located to its southeast. Excavation at the site also yielded evidence that it was built on the site of an older native settlement, dating to c. 100 BCE.〔
The Russian settlement site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978.〔
