 Sarichef surveyed in this locality, and, after Levashef, named this jilace 

 Captains harbor. Krusenstern, in 1827, says of this place that it is i)r( )perly 

 called Captains, but to distinguish it from others it will be convenient to 

 call it Port Levacheff. It has generally been called Captains harbor.
