Sunda Kelapa - Happy BirthdayJakarta

Why I pick up a topic about Sunda Kelapa? It's because today is the birthday of Jakarta. The metropolitant city, Jakarta, was begun at a small port city that was used as international trading center. European were the first trader came to Sunda Kelapa Port. In the development the name of Sunda Kelapa changed several times after the latest in the Japanese colonialization era, the name was changed to Jakarta.

Currently Sunda Kelapa port is still utilized as a port for Phinisi ships that are carrying in agricultural products from Sulawesi & Kalimantan to Jakarta. Phinisi ships are small ships made of collered wood and antique shape.
