CHEMULPO
浦物 Che-mul-po
#
This port, called by the Japanese Jinsen, and by the Chinese Jenchuan, is situated on the west coast of Chosen (Corea), in the metropolitan province of Kyongki, at the entrance of the Salée River, an embouchure of the Han or Seoul River. It was opened to foreign trade in 1883, when it was a poor fishing village, and is now a flourishing and rapidly increasing centre of trade, with a native population, including Japanese, of about 32,295. A railway runs from Chemulpo to Fusan, meeting the line from Seoul at Yong-dong-po (Yei-do-ho). The price of land has risen to almost fabulous rates.
Chemulpo enjoys a beautiful climate and is never shut up by ice. The port has two anchorages, the outer one accommodating ships of all sizes, and the inner one frequented by ships of about 1,000 tons, but a scheme of reconstruction is now under way. An enormous rise and fall of the tide, which averages 30 feet, renders the inner anchorage difficult of access to larger ships, and is also a serious hindrance to the navigation of the Seoul River. Only vessels not drawing over six feet may safely run between Chemulpo and Mapo, a place on the river three miles south-west of the capital.
