BANDER LINGAH, or LINGA

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 312 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BANDER LINGAH, or LINGA , a town of Persia on the northern shore of the Persian Gulf and about 300 M. by sea from
Bushire
 , in 26 33' N., 54 54' E. Pop. about 1o,000. It forms
part
  of the administrative divisions of the " Persian Gulf ports," whose
governor
  resides at
Bushire
 . The annual value of the exports and imports from and into Bander Lingah from 1890 to 1905 averaged about 800,000, but nearly half of that amount is represented by pearls which pass in transit from the fisheries on the Arab
coast
  to Bombay. Like many other Persian Gulf ports, Bander Lingah was for many generations a hereditary patrimony of the Sheikh of an Arab tribe, in this
case
  the Juvasmi tribe, and it was only in 1898 that the
Arabs
  were expelled from the place by a Persian force. It is the
chief
  port for the Persian province of Laristan (under Fars), and has a thriving
trade
  with Bahrein and the Arab
coast
 . It has a British post
office
 , and the steamers of the British India Company
call
  there weekly. Of the 133,000 tons of shipping which in 1905 entered the port 104,500 were British.
