Nikolay Yakovlevich Rosenberg

Nikolay Yakovlevich Rosenberg (1807 – 1857) was a Russian naval officer and chief manager of the Russian-American Company.

Rosenberg was the first chief manager of the Russian-American Company since Semyon Yanovsky to not serve a five year term. During his three years of overseeing company operations from New Archangel, Rosenberg "proved especially inept at maintaining good relationships with the Tlingits."[1] His leadership antagonised Sitka Tlignit and precipitated a skirmish outside the settlement. He later earned the enmity of Stikine River based Tlignits for not warning them of the hostile intentions of a Sitka band of Tlignits.[1] Rosenberg was later replaced by Aleksandr Ilich Rudakov in 1853.
