Illustrations: "Portuguese Land at Quillimane, Page 15 Ch 6 / No. 21".
Black ink drawing of a church, possibly the cathedral which still survives, at Quelimane (Boteler has used an approximate spelling of the name). The town originated as a Swahili trade centre, and then grew as a slave market. Quelimane was founded by Muslim traders (see Kilwa Sultanate) and was one of the oldest towns in the region.
