PAPEETE

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 725 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PAPEETE , the
capital
  of the Pacific
island
  of Tahiti, and the
chief
  port and trading centre, and the seat of government of the French establishments in Oceania. Pop. 4280 (2500 French). The town, lying on the north-west
coast
  of the
island
 , on a beautiful harbour entered by two passages through the protecting
reef
 , and backed by five mountains, is French in character as far as concerns the richer quarters. It has a
cathedral
 , barracks and arsenal, government buildings and a botanical
garden
 . The Chinese
quarter
  and the picturesque native market contrast strongly with the European
settlement
 . Of the entrances to the harbour, which is of
fair
  extent and depth, that of Papeete has about seven fathoms depth; that of Taunoa is shallower, though wider and more convenient.
