ZAMBOANGA

Zamboanga is located on the south-western extremity of Mindanao Island in latitude 6 deg. 55 min. north and longitude 122 deg. 5 min. east, being 512 nautical miles south of Manila. It has a population of about twenty-eight thousand and, in volume of business, takes fourth place among the open ports of the Philippines, coming after Manila, Iloilo and Cebu. It is situated in a country noted for copra, lumber and hemp production, has excellent shipping facilities, and is the ideal transhipping point for all products of southern Mindanao and Sulu. The harbour is partially protected by two small islands and is never visited by severe storms as it is south of the typhoon belt. It has a good anchorage for steamers of any size, and the wharf, will accommodate steamers drawing thirty feet. The climate is characterized by a remarkable evenness of temperature and a comparatively small rainfall which increases rapidly as one goes a few miles from Zamboanga in any direction.
