Mangalore

Mangalore lay 120 kilometres north of Cannanore. This town was situated on the border of the southern coastal strip of Malabar and the northern coastal strip of Canara. Following the Dutch conquest of the Malabar Coast the Dutch occupied the fort built here by the Portuguese. In 1722 the VOC constructed a new lodge.
