Biography
From 1803 to 1806, Russian navigator ADAM JOHANN von KRUSENSTERN (1770-1846) circumnavigated the globe. Although the voyage was undertaken to stimulate the fur trade of the Pacific coast and to revive trade with China and Japan, its real contribution was to the knowledge of the hydrography of the north Pacific coast of America. Krusenstern was Director (1827-1842) of the Royal Naval Academy and was promoted to the rank of Admiral.
