Trincomalee linn

Trincomalee, iidne Gokanna, linn ja sadam, Sri Lanka, saare kirdesaar. See asub poolsaarel Trincomalee lahes—varem tuntud kui Koddiyar (mille tähendus on "Kindlus jõe ääres") laht—üks maailma parimaid looduslikke sadamaid.

Trincomalee oli varasematel aegadel suureks Indo-Aaria rändurite asunduseks. Tuhande samba tempel (tuntud ka kui Koneswarami tempel), mis asub poolsaare lõpus, hakati hindu templina kasutama 7. sajandil või varem. Esimesed eurooplased, kes linna asustasid, olid portugallased 17. sajandil; nad hävitasid templi ja kasutasid selle kive kindluse ehitamiseks. Sadama juhtimine vaheldus korduvalt hollandlaste, prantslaste ja britidega, kuni britid said selle püsivalt oma valdusse 1795. Trincomalee tähtsus kui suur briti baas kasvas pärast seda, kui jaapanlased tõrjusid britid Singapurist Teise maailmasõja ajal; jaapanlased pommitasid linna 1942. aastal. Britid hoidsid sadamat pärast Sri Lanka iseseisvumist, kuid loobusid sellest 1957. aastal.

Trincomalee sadam ei ole enam kaubanduslikult oluline, kuigi 1960. aastatel põhjustasid KOL
