Not knowing of the work of the Japanese navigator Mamiya Rinzō, who had explored the same area forty years earlier, the Russians took Nevelskoy's report as the first proof that Sakhalin is indeed an island. They renamed the Gulf of Tartary as the Strait of Tartary, and named the northernmost, narrowest section of the strait, the Strait of Nevelskoy, in the captain's honour. It connects the strait's main body (formerly known as the Gulf of Tartary) with the Amur Liman (Amur Riverestuary).
Memory
The following entities are named after Nevelskoy:
The Gulf and the Strait of the Far East, the city Nevelskoi in the Sakhalin Oblast, a street in the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Kholmsk (and in other cities of the Sah. area), Novosibirsk, village Wrangell Nakhodka and several other places.
The monument to Gennady Ivanovich Nevelskoy was opened in 1891 in Vladivostok, its creators were the sculptor Bach and the engineer of the fleet Antipenko.[2] It was accepted for state protection in 1974, and in 2019 the boundaries of the object of cultural heritage of regional significance were determined.
Until the mid-1990s there was a monument of Nevelskoy in Khabarovsk. During the night of 17 to 18 May 1996 the monument in Central Park of Culture and Rest of Khabarovsk was destroyed by minors.[5] The sculpture was dismantled for reconstruction and has not been restored.
July 16, 2008, in the city of Irkutsk, on the wall of Holy Cross Church (wedding place Gennady Nevelskoi and Catherine Yelchaninova) was a memorial plaque. The idea belongs to the installation of Irkutsk poet and member of the Board of Navy veterans Irkutsk Gennady Haidee.[6]
The monument in the town of Korsakov Sakhalin Oblast. Opened in July 2013[7]
