Abstract

At present the Trans-Siberian Railway is an important transportation network connecting Siberia to European Russia. It is almost totally self sustainable. Little is known, however, that during its construction in the late 1890s and early 1900s the Northern Sea Route had been widely employed to deliver various construction materials and river-craft to the Yenisei River. There were three such expeditions: 1893, 1894, and 1905. The article describes the logistics of the aforementioned and refers to cooperation between British maritime business and the Russian Imperial Government.
