From the Sunda Kelapa Harbourmaster's Tower looking north onto the Kali Besar and a veritable forest of masts on the pinisi, traditional two-masted wooden sailing ships which still provide inter-island freight services in the archipelago.

Jakarta Docks sailing ships with wood from across the Java Sea in Sulawesi. Indonesian holiday 1997-8.
