TRUJILLO, or TRUXILLO

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 323 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TRUJILLO, or TRUXILLO , a seaport on the
Atlantic
 
coast
  of
Honduras
 , in 15 54' N. and 86 5' W. Pop. (1905), about 4000. The harbour, an inlet of the Bay of
Honduras
 , is sheltered on the north by the promontory of Cape Honduras; it is deep and spacious, but insecure in westerly winds.
Mahogany
 , dye-woods,
sarsaparilla
 , cattle, hides and fruit are ex-ported;
grain
 , flour, hardware and rum are imported.
Trujillo
  was founded in 1524, and became one of the most prosperous ports of the new world, and the headquarters of a Spanish naval
squadron
 . During the 17th century it was frequently and successfully raided by
buccaneers
 , and thus lost much of its commerce. Still more has in modern times been diverted to Puerto
Cortes
  and the Bay Islands.
