Features: In the early 19th century, Russia was at the forefront of organizing and conducting global voyages and exploring the geography of the oceans. Lianskii was a Russian naval officer sent by the Tsar to establish a direct transport route from the ocean to the Russian colonial territories in North America, passing through the Pacific. He made significant contributions to geographical discoveries. The ship he commanded, the "Neva," also reached the port of Guangzhou in China, documenting some interactions with Chinese Qing Dynasty officials at the time. This book presents the political, economic, and cultural conditions of the countries along the route, serving as a valuable primary source for studying and understanding human history and geographical discoveries.
