		This became the centre of Russian trading operations and, in August 1808, the administrative capital of Russian America, with (by 1848) a cathedral and shipyards.

		Shelekhov's colonial administrator, Alexandr Baranov, ruled so long (1790-1818) and effectively that he came to be known as "Lord" of Russian America.
		Russian trader and general manager of the Russian-American Fur Company, Baranov was, for at least 25 years, the presiding genius of the commercial venture which extended throughout Alaska, San Francisco, the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii - click here), China and Oregon.
		When the region proved unsuitable, Baranov extended his vision into the Pacific and built a fort on the Hawaiian island of Kauai (1815) after the shipwreck of the Sv Nikolai (see right) on the Oregon coast and the enslavement of its crew by local native Americans (see right) had soured the Russians on Oregon.

	Pfeiffer: Sitka - the Town
		In 1799 the Russians, under Alexandr Baranov, the manager of the company, build a small fort about 7 miles north of modern Sitka and named it "Novo Arkhangelsk" (new Archangel), after the city of Arkhangelsk in northern Russia.
		The Tlingits eventually returned, but it was an uneasy truce: a stockade separated the native settlement along the waterfront from the Russians and some blockhouses kept watch.
		The photo shows a peculiarity: the roads on Baranov island extend only about 7.5 miles to the north and south of Sitka, still, there are plenty of cars on the island.

		In 1794, the Tsarina fulfilled Shelekhov's pleas to establish an Orthodox mission in Alaska, and in 1799, Tsar Paul I (1754-1801) awarded Shelekhov's Russian American Company monopolistic control over trade and government, thus inextricably entwining the Company and the Church.
