[edit] Samenvatting

This is a low-resolution version of Photograph of Moulmein (Mawlamyaing) taken in Burma (Myanmar) in the 1870s by Samuel Bourne (1832-1912), part of the Gladstone Collection. Moulmein, the chief town of the Mon State, lies on the coast of south-east Burma at the mouth of the Thanlwin (Salween) river where it meets the Gulf of Martaban (Mottama). It developed as a colonial town between 1827 and 1852, when it was the administrative capital of British Burma. During this period, it became a major centre for the export of teak, and remains an important seaport for coastal shipping. A number of shrines and monasteries like the Kyaikthanlan Pagoda (referred to in Rudyard Kipling's poem 'Mandalay') were built on a ridge of hills running north-south in east Moulmein, commanding a view of the town and river. In this view, the Jail buildings are seen with the Thanlwin in the distance. The original image was downloaded from the website: [1] Sanjay Tiwari 02:41, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
