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 5L2 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 transshipping 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, now being extended,
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.
Communication with other ports is assured by weekly mail steamers, bi-weekly
transports and despatch boats with Cebu and Manila, monthly steamers of the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha with Australia, Manila and the China coast, and bi-weekly steamers of
the Straits Steamship Company with Sandakan, Borneo, and Singapore. A coast
guaid cutter, running out of Zamboanga, gives regular communication with other small
