“Since I wrote my account, I have been able to consult Steller’s
own description of the wintering, and I find that the house which I
have described and given the plan of, was the one they built in the
spring, after the freshet which drove them out of the dug-outs
(Gruben) on the bank of the creek, traces of which are still visible.
I also found a number of relics at a place which I took to be the
point where they rebuilt the vessel. In a letter Mr. Lauridsen
suggested to me the probability that I had found not this place, but the
locality where the store-house was built, in which the men left what
they could not carry on the new vessel, and that the latter must
have been built near the southern end of the bay. After reading
Steller’s own account, however, I feel absolutely certain that the
ship was built at the northern end, near the huts and dug-outs, at the
place where I found the relics. It is quite probable, however, that
the store-house was built in very close proximity, if not on the very
spot.”
