NAGASAKI

water

The Mitsubishi Company Own three docks in Nagasaki, the largest of which has a length of 714 feet on the keel blocks and a depth of at ordinary spring tides of 34ft. 6in. As a shipbuilding centre the place has rapidly developed in recent years; in addition to large ocean-going steamers, a battle cruiser of 27,500 tons displacement and a battleship of over 30,000 tons displacement have been constructed there. Nagasaki gained considerable importance as a base for steam trawlers, but the vessels were all sold to foreign_governments for war service during 1918.

The Municipality has erected a large fish market on the wharf near the railway station. The waterworks were found to be insufficient for the grow- ing needs of the town and a large extension of them was completed in March, 1904. Further extensions have been in progress since 1920. The railway develop- ments of recent years have made it possible, with a brief sea passage of ten minutes between Moji and Shimonoseki, to travel by rail from Nagasaki to Kobe and thence to Tokyo. The climate in Nagasaki is mild and salubrious, and there are several very popular health resorts in the neighbourhood, the most famous being Mount Unzen, on which an excellent nine-hole golf course was laid out in 1911.

In 1921 the imports were valued at Yen 22,732,519 and the exports at Yen 10,155,701, as compared with Yen 42,284,173 and Yen 12,226,876, respectively, in 1920.

The population of the port has increased greatly during recent years. In the census taken in 1920 it was returned as 176,554, nearly double that which it was twenty years ago. Au English newspaper, the Nagasaki Press, is published daily.
