Unnamed passage in Kronstadt was named after the navigator Peter Ricord

In Kronstadt, the nameless passage was given the name “Admiral Ricord Street”. The relevant resolution was published by the government of St. Petersburg.

This passage, until recently unnamed, connected Makarovskaya street with the pier. Now it has a name in honor of Admiral Peter Ricord, who was an outstanding navigator and statesman of the 18th-19th centuries, who made a huge contribution to the development of the Far Eastern territories and the development of the fleet.

Also, the admiral is traditionally credited with introducing the word “steamboat” into Russian, because Peter Ricord participated in the first official voyage of a Russian steam ship.

In honor of the admiral, an island in the Sea of Japan, a cape on Iturup, a river on Kunashir and a peak on Kamchatka are named.
