GUANTA

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 651 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GUANTA , a port on the Caribbean
coast
  of the state of Bermudez,
Venezuela
 , 12 M. N.E. of
Barcelona
 , with which it is connected by
rail
 . It
dates
  from the completion of the railway to the coal mines of Naricual and Capiricual nearly 12 M. beyond
Barcelona
 , and was created for the shipment of coal. The harbour is horseshoe-shaped, with its entrance, 1998 ft. wide, protected by an
island
  less than 1 m. off the shore. The entrance is easy and safe, and the harbour affords secure anchorage for large vessels, with deep water alongside the iron railway wharf.
These advantages have made Guanta the best port on this
part
  of the
coast
 , and the
trade
  of Barcelona and that of a large inland
district
  have been transferred to it. A prominent feature in its
trade
  is the shipment of live cattle. Among its exports are
sugar
 , coffee, cacao, tobacco and fruit.
