...the Commander Islands.
These maritime expeditions, unlike fur trading ventures in Siberia, require more capital than most promyshlenniki can obtain.
Merchants from cities such as Irkutsk, Tobolsk, and others in European Russia, become the principal investors.
An early trader is Emilian Basov, who trades at Bering Island in 1743, collecting a large number of sea otter, fur seal, and blue arctic fox furs.
Basov mounts four expeditions to Bering Island, which is the largest of the Commander Islands, and nearby Medny Island.
He makes a fortune, inspiring many other traders.
