The main city on Sri Lanka’s eastern seaboard, Trincomalee lies on one of the best natural deep water harbours in the world. With a deep history going back to the times of great Dravidian dynasties, its strategic importance has made it a coveted possession throughout colonial times changing hands from the Portuguese, to the Dutch and then to the British, who defended it against air raids by Japan during World War 2.
