Imbros
1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
or Resource Toolbox
a Turkish island in the Aegean, at the southern end of the Thracian Chersonese peninsula. It forms with Samothrace, about 17 m. distant, a caza (or canton) in the sanjak of Lemnos and province of the Archipelago Isles. Herodotus (v. 26) mentions it as an abode of the historic Pelasgians. It was, like Samothrace, a seat of the worship of the Cabeiri. The island is now the seat of a Greek bishopric. There is communication with the mainland by occasional vessels. The island is of great fertility - wheat, oats, barley, olives, sesame and valonia being the principal products, in addition to a variety of fruits. Pop. about 92,000, nearly all Turks.
