PUERTO CABELLO

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 634 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PUERTO CABELLO , a city and port of
Venezuela
 , in the state of
Carabobo
 , 20 M. N. by W. of
Valencia
 , the
capital
  of the state. Pop. (1891), 10,145. Puerto Cabello has railway connexions with
Valencia
  and Caracas. It stands on a small peninsula which partly shelters a large bay, called " Golfo Triste," by the early Spanish navigators. After La Guayra the harbour is the
principal
  port of
Venezuela
 , and it is provided with
mole
 , wharves, railway communication with the interior, and other facilities for the handling of merchandise and produce. The town and harbour were strongly fortified in colonial times, but the port defences were greatly damaged in 1902 in a bombardment by some
German
  vessels of the allied blockading
fleet
 . Among the exports are
coffee
 , cacao, dyewoods, hides, skins, and copper ores. Puerto Cabello suffered much in the War of Independence, changing hands several times and remaining in the
possession
  of Spain down to 1823.
