typhoons which come from that direction, and the port receives little damage from wind and wave. The heart of the city is closely connected with the port by the Horikawa, Shinborikawa, and Nakagawa Canals, and the Rinko Railway Line.

The construction of Nagoya Harbour began in 1896. Years ago the third stage of the work was completed with an aggregate expenditure of 15,490,000 yen. The area of the wharves is 1.52 square kilometres, with an anchoring capacity of 96,000 tons for thirty-eight steamers of ten thousand tons or less. At present the harbour can accommodate 40 vessels with a total tonnage of 206,000 tons. But in order to meet the requirements of Nagoya and of mid-Japan which had been making rapid expansion, the fourth stage of the construction was begun in 1928 at an estimate of 10,120,000 yen. This work will be completed in 1938, when the area of the wharves will be increased to 2.23 square kilometres, and the anchoring capacity to 333,000 tons for 66 steamers including 11 ten thousand tonners.

Nagoya Harbour is an important port of call for many lines, trade with America, Europe, China, the South Sea Islands, Australia, and Africa, is carried on directly from this port by thirty-three lines.

The port was opened to foreign trade in 1907, and domestic and foreign trade have developed with remarkable rapidity.
