Bearing Sea

Bering Sea. Named for a Russian explorer. The Russians were early in
the area. Recall that we bought Alaska from them..There is a brand of
pretty good cigars named for him, his picture is on the box. I don't
usually do spelling corrections, as usually the meaning is obvious.
Proper names are an exception.
