		Vasili Divin wrote the biography of explorer Aleksei Chirikov, the Russian mariner who came closest to British Columbia territory in the 18th century.
		Aleksei Chirikov’s first North American landfall north of Dixon Entrance was made approximately 40 nautical miles northwest of Forrester Island, the northernmost land sighted by Spaniard Juan Pérez in 1774—thus determining the maritime border between Alaska and British Columbia.
		Chirikov recalled, “They stood up and shouted twice, ‘Agai, Agai’, waved their hands, and turned back to shore.’ Chirikov crossed the Gulf of Alaska and sighted more than a half-dozen Aleutian Islands, once trading knives for desperately needed food with Aleutian Islanders in kayaks.
