For the naval officer Nevelskoi had surveyed the Manchurian coast down to the Korean border and had urged successfully that this, too, as far inland as the Ussuri River, must be included in the Tsar’s dominions. At the southern end, in particular, the town of Haishenwei with its harbour would make a splendid port.
