Three Saints Bay, Alaska

Three Saints Bay (Russian: Бухта Трёх Святителей, r Bukhta Tryokh Svyatitelyej) is a 9-mile (14-kilometer)-long inlet on the southeast side of Kodiak Island, Alaska, north of Sitkalidak Strait.

[5]: 163  The main settlement was moved in 1792 to Pavlovskaya Gavan (Павловская гавань – Paul's Harbor[6]), now known as the city of Kodiak.

[3] Although Russian fur hunters had established temporary shore stations in Alaska earlier, they intended the Three Saints site to be a permanent colonial settlement.

In 1791, Alexander Baranov began moving the main Russian settlement to the site of present-day Kodiak.

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.
