dodo - strait of hormuz
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Hormuz
a narrow, strategically important waterway between the Gulf of Oman in the southeast and the Persian Gulf. On the north coast is Iran and on the south coast is the United Arab Emirates and Musandam, an exclave of Oman.
The Strait of Hormuz (red arrow) relative to the Arabian Peninsula and Persian Gulf.
The strait at its narrowest is 54 kilometres (34 mi) wide.
It is the only sea passage to the open ocean for large areas of the petroleum-exporting Persian Gulf. About 13 tankers carrying 15.5 million barrels (2,460,000 m3) of crude oil pass through the strait on an average day, making it one of the world's most strategically important choke points.
This represents 33% of the world's seaborne oil shipments, and 17% of all world oil shipments in 2009.

dodo - hormuz island
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormuz_Island
Hormoz Island has an area of 42 km2 (16 sq mi). It is covered by sedimentary rock and layers of volcanic material on its surface. The highest point of the island is about 186 metres above sea level. Due to a lack of precipitation, the soil and water are salty.
Khezr Beach, Hormoz Island, Persian Gulf, Iran,
In the 15th century Hormuz was visited several times by a Chinese fleet led by Zheng He
The island was conquered by the Portuguese explorer Afonso de Albuquerque in the Capture of Ormuz (1507) and became a part of the Portuguese Empire. There is a historic Portuguese fortress on Hormuz Island, the Fort of Our Lady of the Conception. The island was then captured by a combined Anglo-Persian force in 1622 in the Capture of Ormuz (1622).
Shah Abbas I was not interested to maintain the island as a trading center and developped the nearby mainland port of Bander Abbas instead. The city went into decline. Many of its inhabitants spent part of the year at fields and ochards around the old Hormuz on the mainland, only fishermen being in permanent residence. The island continued to export small qantities of rock salt and lumps of iron oxide which were used as ballast stones for sailing ships.
