Galle Harbour
Galle Harbour is a natural harbour, located in Galle, south-western coast of Sri Lanka. Currently Galle port serves as one of the most active regional ports in the country and it is also the only Sri Lankan port that provides facilities for pleasure yachts. International yacht societies have recognized Galle harbour as one of the world's best attractions for yachting.〔(Galle Port Development Project )〕
==History==
Galle harbour was a major harbour in the country, which was in use even during the pre-Christian times, but gained importance after the 12th century.〔(Galle - the historic port town )〕 By the 14th century, Galle harbour was the most important harbour in Sri Lanka and retained its importance until 1873 when an artificial harbour was built in Colombo.
After the construction of Galle Fort in the 17th century Galle port was a major port in the Indian Ocean for more than 200 years, which was an important anchorage for boats and ships traveling between Europe and Asia.〔(Galle history )〕 When the British colonial government constructed breakwaters in the Colombo Harbour in late 19th century, much international marine traffic shifted to Colombo from Galle.〔(Locations of Buddhism: Colonialism and Modernity in Sri Lanka ), Blackburn, Anne M., University of Chicago Press, Apr 15, 2010 ,pp.36〕 Thereafter Galle port became a secondary port of the country, though it still handles some ships and boats.
