Ancient stone implements, probably shaped by man, were found on the Faddey Islands and were studied by the Russian archaeologist A.P.
In 1940-41 Soviet hydrographers found the remains of people, money, weapons and other items on these islands and in the nearby coast of the Simsa Bay.
Apparently these were traces of an expedition undertaken by Akaky and Ivan Muromets in the early 17th century.
According to his point of view the deceased seafarers tried to sail by sea from the Khatanga Gulf to the mouth of the Yenisei on two ships in order to load furs (Troitsky, 1991).
The second ship reached the Simsa Bay, where the crew built a house in order to leave three ill people there.
