Italian to English Art/Literary Ships, Sailing, Maritime Book On Explorations And Discoveries

Partito da Saint Petersburg, dopo un lungo viaggio attraverso la Siberia, Bering raggiunse il porto di Okhotsk e nell'estate del 1728 partì a bordo della nave Saint Gabriel, che era stata costruita sul posto. Navigò lungo costa orientale della Kamchatka e, portandosi al largo del Golfo dell'Anadyr, scoprì l'isola di Saint Lawrence.

Grazie,

directed offshore of the Gulf of Anadyr

You have "sailed" in the previous part of the sentence, so I would use a verb like "direct". Good luck - this seems like a looong book!
Peer comment(s):

agree Rosanna Palermo : I would drop the "directed". It's redundant.

veering into the open waters of the Gulf..

offshore is a modern term and not quite suitable for this translation.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Rosanna Palermo : the term offshore was first recorded in 1710-20. Not modern at all. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/offshore

It may be useful to have a look at a map of the region. See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Anadyr . It is worth noting that Saint Lawrence Island is outside the Gulf of Anadyr.
