Unga Sea

Unga is the largest of the Shumagin Islands, south of the Alaska Peninsula. The islands formed part of the homeland of the Unangan, whose skin-covered boats carried hunters between their shores and the rich waters offshore. On Unga's southeastern coast stood an Unangan village recorded by Russian officials in 1833 under the name Delarov. The surrounding waters were part of the sea otter hunting grounds sought by the Russian fur trade.
