Mikhail Vasilyev Mikhail Nikolayevich Vasilyev ( ) ( 1770 – June 23 , 1847 ) was a Russia n explorer and vice admiral of the Imperial Russian Navy . He is reputed for having surveyed the then little - known coast of Alaska as navigator . Vasiliev was sent by the Russian Imperial Hydrographic Service in 1819 to explore the northern parts of the Pacific ocean and particularly the area around the Bering strait . Certain geographic features of the Alaskan coast , like the Lindenberg Peninsula and Sealion Island were named by him in the maps that were subsequently published . In 1820 Mikhail Vasiliev on the ship " Otkrytiye " entered the Chukchi Sea and explored the coast of Alaska from Kotzebue Sound to Icy Cape and later from Norton Sound to Cape Newenham . He was accompanied by Gleb Shishmaryov , who was in command of the ship " Blagonamereniye " . After these surveys , in which he is credited to be the first European having sighted Nunivak Island , Vasiliev sailed to Petropavlovsk and returned to Kronstadt , arriving there on August 2 , 1822 . Ensign Mikhail Nikolaievich Vasiliev should not be confused with navigator Ivan Vasilyev or with another Captain Vasiliev or Vasilief about whom Adam Johann von Krusenstern says It is much to be regretted that the hydrographic works of a naval officer , Vasilief , who was in the employment of the American Company , were lost . . . Provided with a sextant and chronometer and with much zeal and attachment for his profession , he had during his sojourn in our American colonies made a complete survey of all of the Aleutian Islands without having had specific instructions to do so . Unfortunately he was drowned in Okhotsk harbor on his return from America to Russia , and what became of his precious papers and drawings is unknown . He is not to be confounded with the Captain ( Mikhail Nikolaievich ) Vasilief . . . Vasilyev ' s name is spelt as " Vasilief " in the United States , where Vasilief Bay in Atka and Cape Vasilyev in Nunivak Island were named after him by Captain Fyodor Petrovich Litke ; Cape Vasilyev was later renamed " Cape Corwin " by the U . S . Board on Geographic Names in 1909 . There are other geographic features in the coast of Alaska and the Aleutians bearing the name " Vasilief " , but it is not clear after which Vasilyev they were named .

Silver Medal of Military Valor The Silver Medal of Military Valor ( ) is an Italian medal for gallantry . Italian medals for valor were first instituted by Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia on 21 May 1793 , with a gold medal , and , below it , a silver medal . These were intended for junior officers or common soldiers who had distinguished themselves in combat . These medals fell into disuse during the period of Napoleonic domination . They were reinstated on 1 April 1815 , by Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia , who , however , abolished them only a few months later , on 4 August 1815 , replacing them with the Military Order of Savoy ( l ' Ordine militare di Savoia ) , now known as the Military Order of Italy . However , in 1833 , Charles Albert of Sardinia , recognizing that the Military Order was too exclusive in that it could only be awarded to persons of high rank , re - instituted the medals for valor ( gold and silver ) as awards for noble acts performed by soldiers in both war and peace . According to royal decree no . 753 of 24 May 1915 , the number of times one individual could receive a medal for valor ( both silver and gold ) was limited to three , after which a promotion was foreseen . This limit was abolished with royal decree no . 975 of 15 June 1922 . During World War I , the medal was awarded to military personnel , units above the level of company and civilians for exceptional valor in the face of the enemy . During World War I , the medal was given out some 38 , 614 times for individual acts of heroism ( compared to 368 Gold Medals and 60 , 244 Bronze medals ) . Thus , the Italian Silver Medal for Military Valor is equivalent in frequency and prestige to the British Military Cross , which was awarded some 40 , 253 times during World War I . The Silver Medal for Military Valor is still awarded by the Italian state , and it , along with the Gold and Bronze medals for Military Valor as well as the " Croce di Guerra al Valor Militare " ( War Cross of Military Valor - which can only be awarded in time of war ) is established by the Royal Decree of 4 November 1932 , in which the purpose of these medals is defined as " To distinguish and publicly honor the authors of heroic military acts , even ones performed in time of peace , provided that the exploit is closely connected with the purposes for which the Armed Forces are constituted , whatever may be the condition or quality of the author .

Asen ' s Fortress Asen ' s Fortress ( , " Asenova krepost " ) , identified by some researchers as Petrich ( Петрич ) , is a medieval fortress in the Bulgarian Rhodope Mountains , 2 – 3 km south of the town of Asenovgrad , on a high rocky ridge on the left bank of the Asenitsa River . The earliest archaeological findings date from the time of the Thracians , the area of the fortress being also inhabited during the Ancient Roman and Early Byzantine period . The fortress gained importance in the Middle Ages , first mentioned in the statute of the Bachkovo Monastery as " Petrich " in the 11th century . The fortress was conquered by the armies of the Third Crusade . It was considerably renovated in the 13th century ( more precisely 1231 ) during the rule of Bulgarian tsar Ivan Asen II to serve as a border fortification against Latin raids , as evidenced by an eight - line wall inscription . The foundations of fortified walls ( the outer ones being 2 . 9 m thick and preserved up to a height of 3 m , originally 9 – 12 m high ) , a feudal castle , 30 rooms and 3 water repositories have been excavated from this period . The best preserved and most notable feature of Asen ' s Fortress is the Church of the Holy Mother of God from the 12th - 13th century . It is a two - storey cross - domed single - naved building with a wide narthex and a large rectangular tower , and features mural paintings from the 14th century . The conservation and partial restoration works on the church were finished in 1991 ( the whole fortress was left to decay after the Ottoman conquest in the 14th century and only the church remained standing in its original appearance as it was used by the local Christians ) and now it is in regular use as a Bulgarian Orthodox church . Taken by the Byzantines after Ivan Asen II ' s death , the fortress was once again in Bulgarian hands at the time of Ivan Alexander in 1344 only to be conquered and destroyed by the Ottomans during their rule of Bulgaria . The town of Asenovgrad takes its modern name from the fortress , formerly being named " Stanimaka " .
Matanzas River Matanzas River is a body of water located in St . Johns and Flagler counties in Florida . It is a narrow saltwater bar - bounded estuary sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean by Anastasia Island . The Matanzas River is in length and extends from St . Augustine Inlet southward to approximately south of the Matanzas Inlet on the southern tip of Anastasia Island . The river is part of the Intracoastal Waterway . The Matanzas River at St . Augustine was the main entrance to the historic city , America ' s oldest port . The body of water is often referred to as the Matanzas Harbor in the immediate vicinity of the city ' s waterfront . The southern portion of the Matanzas River was traditionally considered the " backdoor " to the city of St . Augustine , and control of the river was considered a strategic necessity for early Spanish colony at St . Augustine . Spanish engineers and laborers built Fort Matanzas in the 18th century to control access to the river from Matanzas Inlet , about south of St . Augustine . The Matanzas River supports an extensive tidal marsh habitat . Extensive conservation efforts including the Matanzas marsh , Faver - Dykes State Park , Princess Place preservation area , Pellicer Place preservation area , Pellicer Creek Aquatic Preserve , the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve , and the Moses Creek conservation area have been established to preserve the ecosystem . The preserved areas include salt marsh es , mangrove tidal wetlands , oyster bars , estuarine lagoons , upland habitat , and marine environments . The Matanzas River faces several pollution issues , mostly related to urbanization in St . Augustine and the northern portion of Anastasia Island . Two major bridges cross the Matanzas River , the Bridge of Lions and the Mickler - O ' Connell Bridge , both between St . Augustine and Anastasia Island . The Matanzas River was named by Spanish forces for a massacre , led by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés of Spain , of a group of several hundred shipwrecked French Huguenots from Fort Caroline , led by Jean Ribault . The Huguenots were executed somewhere near the present site of Matanzas Inlet in 1565 . Menéndez had been ordered to kill all Protestants he found in the New World . " Matanzas " means " killings " or " slaughters " in Spanish . Matanzas is thus the tenth oldest surviving European place - name in the US .
