This is a pretty cool place located in the old harbor of Sunda Kelapa. This harbor was built in the early 17th century and then re-built and expanded in 1817. Dutch domination of Jakarta and the rest of Indonesia began from here, and remnants of Batavia, the old fort and trading post of the Dutch East Indies Company, still exists near this port.
The tall masted Bugis schooners from south Sulawesi belong to one of the last fleets of sailboats in the world and still ply the seas between the islands of Indonesia as they did centuries before. It is a cool place to visit if you come to Jakarta...
