Arwen Melian,
Alqualonde is the name of a sea-side city in Aman dwelt in by the Teleri who loved the sea too much to stay away from it. They were the late-comers to Aman, and had grown to love the sea in their time along the shores of M-E, so they built their city by the sea and had ships of great speed and renown that were later burned at Losgar by Feanor. The name Alqualonde means 'Haven of the Swans,' in reference to their ships.
Probably more than you wanted to know, but there you are. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
