CHAFFARINAS, or ZAFFARINES

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 800 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CHAFFARINAS, or ZAFFARINES , a group of islands belonging to Spain off the north
coast
  of Morocco, near the Algerian frontier, 22 M. to the north of Cape del Agna. The largest of these isles, Del Congreso, is rocky and hilly. It has a
watch
 -
house
  on the
coast
  nearest to Morocco.
Isabella
  II., the central
island
 , contains several batteries, barracks and a penal convict
settlement
 . The Spanish government has undertaken the construction of breakwaters to unite this
island
  with the neighbouring islet of El Rey, with a view to enclose a deep and already sheltered anchorage. This roadstead affords a safe
refuge
  for many large vessels. The Chaffarinas, which are the Tres Insulae of the Romans and the Zafran of the Arabs, were occupied by Spain in 1848. The Spanish occupation anticipated by a few days a French expedition sent from Oran to annex the islands to
Algeria
 . The
population
  of the islands is under r000.
