Gennady Nevelskoy is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Gennady Nevelskoy as Russian navigator (1813-1876).
Gennady Nevelskoy was born at Soligalichsky Uyezd in 1813. His recorded nationality is Russian Empire.
Enlightenment expeditions carried naturalists and instruments; the Pacific was charted with chronometers and the intention of measuring, not merely claiming.
He is recorded as explorer, geographer and military officer.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: Order of St. Vladimir, 3rd class, Order of St. Vladimir, 4th class, Order of Saint Stanislaus, 1st class and Order of Saint Stanislaus, 3rd class.
Gennady Nevelskoy died in 1876, aged 63. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
