Edward Bonaventure

Edward Bonaventure was an English ship that was forced to seek shelter on the north coast of Russia near Nyonoksa due to weather conditions, leading to its crew coming into contact with the court of Ivan the Terrible, the forming of the Muscovy Company, and diplomatic contacts between Elizabeth I of England and Ivan of Russia.[1] It was wrecked off Rosehearty[2] on the east coast of Scottish coast in November 1556.[3] Among those who died was Richard Chancellor,[4] but Osep Gregorovitch Napea, the first Russian ambassador to England, survived.[5]
