Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
BAGAMOYO , a seaport of German
East
  Africa in 6 22' S., 389 55' E. Pop. about 18,000, including a considerable number of British Indians. Being the port on the mainland nearest the town of
Zanzibar
 , 26 m. distant, Bagamoyo became the starting-point for caravans to the
great
  lakes, and an entrep8t of
trade
  with the interior of the continent. It possesses no natural harbour. The
beach
  slopes gently down and ships anchor about 2 M. off the
coast
 . The town is oriental in character. The buildings include the residence of the
administrator
 , barracks, a government school for natives, a mosque and Hindu temple, and the
establishment
  of the Mission du Sacre Cceur; which possesses a large plantation of coco-nut palms. Bagamoyo is in telegraphic communication with
Zanzibar
  and with the other
coast
  towns of German
East
  Africa, and has regular steamship communication with Zanzibar. Of the explorers who made Bagamoyo the starting-point for their journeys to the interior of Africa, the most illustrious were Sir Richard Burton, J. H. Speke, J. A. Grant and Sir H. M.
Stanley
