History of Sarana Island

Russian name published by Captain Tebenkov (1852, map 24), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), as "O(strov) Sarannoy" meaning "Martagon Island." The martagon is a kind of lily grown on the Kamchatka Peninsula and was used to make liquor for the Bering Expedition in 1738 (Bancroft, 1886, p. 57). "Saranoy", the transliteration of the Russian name, was published in 1888 by U.S. Bureau of Fisheries (USBF).
