MELEDA (Serbo-Croatian, Mljet; Lat. Melita)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 93 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MELEDA (Serbo-Croatian, Mljet; Lat. Melita) , the most southerly and easterly of the larger Adriatic islands of the Austrian province of
Dalmatia
 . Pop. (1900), 1617: Meleda lies
south
  of the Sabioncello promontory, from which it is divided by the Meleda Channel. Its length is 23 m.; its
average
  breadth 2 m. It is of volcanic origin, with numerous chasms and gorges, of which the longest, the Babinopolje, connects the north and
south
  of the
island
 . Port Palazzo, the
principal
  harbour, on the north, is a port of
call
  for tourist steamers. Meleda has been regarded as the Melita on which St Paul was shipwrecked, this view being first expounded, in the loth
century
 , by
Constantine
  Porphyrogenitus. As at
Malta
 , a " St Paul's Bay " is still shown.
