Three Saints Bay

Die Three Saints Bay ist eine kleine Bucht im Südosten der Insel Kodiak in Alaska, USA. Sie liegt 97 km südwestlich der Stadt Kodiak im Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.

Geschichte

Am 22. September 1784 gründete der Händler und Seefahrer Grigori Iwanowitsch Schelichow in dieser Bucht die erste russische Siedlung in Alaska.[1] Die Bucht und die Siedlung wurde nach einem seiner Schiffe benannt.

1792 wurde die Siedlung aufgegeben und an die Stelle der heutigen Stadt Kodiak verlegt, nachdem sie von einem Erdbeben und einem Tsunami zerstört worden war.

Seit 1978 ist die archäologische Stätte als National Historic Landmark eingestuft.
