The Russian frigate Pallada is escorted to Pier 2 in Kodiak Wednesday morning. Hundreds of people lined the waterfront to watch the 354-foot ship pull in on the first stop of a North Pacific tour to commemorate the 270th anniversary of Russia’s colonization of Alaska and the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s pioneering space flight. The ship will be docked downtown until late Saturday. Tours will be available on Thursday and Friday. Jay Barrett/KMXT photo
