Demerara River (sh)




River, eastern Guyana.

Rising in the forests of central Guyana, it flows north for 215 mi (346 km) to the Atlantic Ocean at Georgetown. Oceangoing steamers ascend 65 mi (105 km) to Linden to take on bauxite; smaller ships reach Malali, 25 mi (40 km) farther upstream, beyond which lie numerous rapids.
