Comment

Three Saints Bay (Russian: Бухта Трёх Святителей) is a 9 miles (14 km)-long inlet on the southeast side of Kodiak Island, Alaska, north of Sitkalidak Strait. It is 97 km (60 mi) 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. The settlement was founded in 1784 by Grigory Shelikhov, but the main settlement was moved to Pavlovskaya Gavan (Paul's Harbor), now the city of Kodiak, in 1792. The Three Saints Bay Site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978.
