Last week end, my self and Chamara spent an evening at the rampart, Galle. We thought it is better to add some pictures from this historical fortress, a world heritage.

While at the top of the fort, we saw a ship coming in to the Galle harbor. So the next day we manage to have a visit to the harbor. There we could experience how a ship brought in to the jetty.
When a ship comes, first it anchors at out harbor. After all checking, it pushed by the tug as depth is not enough to operate the propellers.
