History of Davidof Island

Commemorative name published by Admiral von Krusenstern (1827, sheet 18), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), for the Russian naval officer Gavriil Ivanovich Davidov, who with N. A. Khvostov, explored Alaska during 1802-1804. Admiral von Krusenstern applied the name, I (sle) Dawydoff, to Segula Island, but in 1855 the US Navy Hydrographic Office clarified the size and position of both Davidof and Segula Islands and reapplied the names.
