MARTABAN

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 784 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MARTABAN , a town in the
Thaton
 
district
  of
Lower
  Burma, on the right bank of the Salween, opposite Moulmein. It is said to have been founded in A.D. 573, by the first king of
Pegu
 , and was once the
capital
  of a powerful
Talaing
  kingdom; but it is now little more than a
village
 . Martaban is frequently mentioned by
European
  voyagers of the 16th
century
 ; and it has given the name of " Martavans " to a class of large vessels of glazed pottery, also known in India as "
Pegu
  jars." It was twice captured by the British, in 1824 and 1852. The Bay of Martaban receives the rivers
Irrawaddy
  and Salween.
