History of Cape Suworof

Named in 1828 by Captain M. N. Staniukovich of the corvette Moller, probably after nearby Russian Fort Suvorof. This "Russian family name was also spelled Souvoroff, Suvoroff, etc." The Moller, one of Captain F. P. Lutke's ships, ended its exploration of the Alaska Peninsula at this point.
