Cargo

the general term used to designate all merchandise carried on a trading ship.

CARIA (kā'rē-a), a country of Asia Minor, whose boundaries have been dissimilar in different ages. Generally speaking, it was at the S. of Ionia, at the E. and N. of the Icarian Sea, and at the W. of Phrygia Major and Lycia.

It has been called Phoenicia, because a Phœnician colony first settled there. It afterward received the name of Caria, from Car, one of its kings, who first invented the auguries of birds. Its chief town was Halicarnassus.
