Information
has glosseng: The Phoenix was the first ship built in Russian America (roughly equivalent to today's Alaska). It was constructed under the direction of James George Shields, a British mariner in the employ of the Russian Navy, using mainly local materials. The boat was three-masted, 90 feet long, with a cargo capacity of 180 tons. The ship was named after the Phoenix, a trading vessel involved in the sea otter trade. In turn, it is the namesake of Phoenix Bay on Afognak Island. It was lost in a storm in 1799, a sinking which claimed the life of Joasaph Bolotov, first Bishop of Kodiak.
