BURGAS (sometimes written Burghaz, Bourgas or Burgas, and, in the middle ages, Pyrgos)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 812 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BURGAS (sometimes written Burghaz, Bourgas or Burgas, and, in the middle ages, Pyrgos) , a seaport, and
capital
  of the department of Burgas, in Bulgaria (Eastern
Rumelia
 ), on the gulf of Burgas, an inlet of the Black Sea, in 42 27' N. and 27 35' E. Pop. (1906) 12,846. Burgas is built on a low foreland, between the lagoons of Ludzha, on the north, and Kara-Yunus, on the west; it faces towards the open sea on the
east
 , and towards its own harbour on the
south
 . The principal approach is a broad
isthmus
  on the north-west, along which runs the railway to Philippopolis and Adrianople. Despite its small population and the rivalry of Varna and the Turkish port of
Dedeagatch, Burgas has a considerable transit trade. Its fine harbour, formally opened in 1904, has an
average
  depth of five fathoms; large vessels can load at the quays, and the outer waters of the gulf are well lit by lighthouses on the islets of Hagios Anastasios and Megalo-Nisi. In 1904, the port accommodated over 1400 ships, of about 700,000 tons. These included upwards of 800 Bulgarian and Turkish sailing-vessels, engaged in the
coasting
  trade. Fuel, machinery and miscellaneous goods are imported, chiefly from Austria-
Hungary
 , Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom; the exports include grain, wool, tallow, cheese, butter,
attar
  of roses, &c. Pottery and pipes are manufactured from clay obtained in the neighbourhood.
