Karachi or Kurrachee is the largest city and chief seaport in Pakistan. Karachi is located on the coast of Bind at the northern (or western) angle of the Indusdelta, situated on a large and commodious creek or inlet, forming a good haven, perfectly safe in all winds, and out of the track of cyclones. The harbour is formed by a long narrow strip of sand on the west, ending with a rocky promontory called Manora Head, on which is a lighthouse; and by the Island of Kiamari on the east. The city, then a town, was formerly a British possession, coming into British possession in 1842. Research Karachi
