Perim
Perim, also called Mayyun in Arabic, is a volcanic island located in the Strait of Mandeb at the southern entrance into the Red Sea, off the southwestern coast of Yemen. The island measures 5.63 kilometres long and 2.85 kilometres wide; it has a surface area of 13 square kilometers and rises to an altitude of 65 meters. The distance from the Perim Island to Africa is 20.3 kilometers. There is a natural harbour on the southwestern coast. The fishing village of Mayyun is located at the back shore the southern bay. The absence of fresh water on the island has always been one of the major difficulties impeding permanent settlement. Although there are occasional heavy rains, there may be stretches of eight months or more without rain; the long-term average rainfall was about 60 mm per year. Vegetation is very scarce.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Perim
a small barren, crescent-shaped island at the mouth of the Red Sea, belonging to Britain, and used as a coaling-station.
Military Dictionary and Gazetteer
perim
A small island belonging to Great Britain, situated in the strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, at the entrance to the Red Sea, about 1 mile distant from the Arabian, and about 13 miles from the African coast. On its southwest side is an excellent harbor, capable of accommodating 40 men-of-war. Fortifications have been erected on the island, and the guns command the strait on both sides. It was first occupied by the English in 1799, and held by them as a check upon the designs of the French, who were then in Egypt. It was abandoned in 1801, but was reoccupied by Great Britain in February, 1857, with a view to the protection of her Indian possessions, which were thought to be exposed to some chance of danger from the opening of the Suez Canal.
