COROMANDEL COAST

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 184 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
COROMANDEL COAST , a name formerly applied officially to the eastern seaboard of India approximately between Cape Calimere, in ro 17' N., 790 56' E., and the mouths of the
Kistna
  river. The shore, which is low, is without a single good natural harbour, and is at all times beaten by a heavy sea. Communication with
ships
  can be effected only by catamarans and flat-bottomed surf-boats. The north-
east
  monsoon, which lasts from October till
April
 , is exceedingly violent for three months after its commencement. From
April
  till October hot southerly winds
blow
  by day ; at night the heat is tempered by sea-breezes. The
principal
  places frequented by shipping are Pulicat,
Madras
 , Sadras,
Pondicherry
 , Cuddalore, Tranquebar, Nagore, and
Negapatam
 . The name Coromandel is said to be derived from Cholamandal, the mandal or region of the ancient dynasty of the Chola. Its official use has lapsed.
