MOULMEIN (or MAULMEIN)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 935 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MOULMEIN (or MAULMEIN) , the port and headquarters of Amherst
district
  and Tenasserim division of Lower Burma. The population in 1901 was 58,346, and the increase in the last quarter of a century has been very slight. Ship-building, which formerly was an important industry, has now been given up, but there is still a considerable export of teak and
rice
 , and there are several steam
rice
 -and saw-mills. The total exports
average
  more than a million sterling. Three steamers run weekly to
Rangoon
 . Germany and Siam are represented by consuls; Persia, Denmark, and Norway and Sweden by vice-consuls; and Italy and the United States of America by consular agents. The garrison of
Madras
  native infantry, formerly stationed in the town, was withdrawn in 1898. The town, which has the
appearance
  of being on a river, the Salween, is really on the sea, with the
island
  of Bilugyun in front. It is one of the most picturesque ports in the
East
 . There is a branch of the Bank of Bengal, and two
newspapers
  are publishedone in English and one in Burmese.
