Hoods Tower Naval Museum | හුඩ්ස් ටවර් නාවික හමුදා කෞතුකාගාරය, Trincomalee (2018) - 2 of 2
Hood’s Tower Naval Museum is located inside the Trincomalee Naval Dockyard which is around 850 acres in size. This place had originally been used by King Parakramabahu the Great (aka Parakramabahu I) as a fort. He was the second King during Polonnaruwa era, after Vijayabahu the Great (Vijayabahu) to have unified Thrisinhalaya (ත්රිසින්හලය) or the three sub kingdoms of Sri Lanka; Ruhunu, Pihiti and Maya.
Reigning from Polonnaruwa, King Parakrambahu the Great used Trincomalee, then known as Gokanna, as his eastern port where he successfully launched a naval fleet to attack and invade Burma (now Myanmar) in the 12th Century. Since then, this fort had seen many changes and uses, notably with the arrival of the Europeans; Portuguese, Dutch and the English between 1505 and 1948.
There’s a three-storied building in this complex known as Hood’s Tower, thus the name Hood’s Tower Naval Museum. This is built on a hill commanding a 360-degree panoramic view of the Trincomalee Harbor and Bay (Koddiyar Bay) which had proven vital to the safety of the Trinco Harbor. Royal Navy established its British East Indies Formation at this location in 1810 in order to protect their trade interests in the Indian Ocean. The commandant of this formation was Admiral Sir Samuel Hood and this building took the name Hood’s Tower since then.
At Hoods Tower, World War II vintage field glasses on swivel mounts are still in working condition and provide a good view of the entrance to the harbor. The huge gun emplacements and underground ammunition magazines that make up part of the museum today were first built in the 1920s by the British. The six-inch guns have a range of about 4km and could destroy enemy ships approaching Trincomalee. The underground magazines are impressive construction works with winches and conveyor belts to bring ammunition up to the surface.
In another part of the museum, the remarkable history of the Sri Lanka Navy up to end of the defeat of the LTTE Terrorists is presented to the visitors. Prizes of war on display include captured Sea Tiger attack crafts, suicide crafts and LTTE weapons, including an all-terrain vehicle.
The souvenir shop is a must to buy some memorabilia of your visit to this amazing place and the efforts by the SL Navy at maintaining this must also be commended.

Around the World - Episode 05 | Commonwealth War Cemetery, Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. | ත්රිකුණාමලේ පොදු රාජ්ය මණ්ඩල යුධ සුසාන භූමිය
Trincomalee Commonwealth War Cemetery (also known as Trincomalee War Cemetery) is a British military cemetery in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. It preserves memories of British soldiers and auxiliary staff who perished during World War II. This serene, meticulously maintained location has 362 identified graves of Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists alike, all of whom died during the last days of the war. It is one of the six Commonwealth war cemeteries in Sri Lanka, and is maintained by Sri Lankan Ministry of Defense on behalf of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
The cemetery is located on Trincomalee–Nilaveli (A6) Road, around 6 km north of the town of Trincomalee, between Uppuveli and Nilaveli.
It was originally the Combined Services Cemetery, but was taken over by the Admiralty from the military authorities in April 1948 for use as a permanent naval cemetery. On the withdrawal of United Kingdom Forces from Ceylon it became the property of the Ceylon Government who granted the Commonwealth War Graves Commission security of tenure in perpetuity.
Except for a few post-war and non-war graves it is purely a war cemetery, and service war graves were transferred to it from Trincomalee (St. Mary) Churchyard; Trincomalee (St. Stephen's) Cemetery, Kottadi Cemetery, Jaffna; and Vavuniya Combined Cemetery. The non-war graves are those of men of the Merchant Navy whose death was not due to war service, and of civilians, of whom some were employees of the Admiralty; while the post-war graves were dependents of servicemen, civilian employees of the Admiralty and dependents of such employees.
Among the graves you will find the Cross of Sacrifice, which is a Commonwealth war memorial originally designed in 1918 by Sir Reginald Blomfield for the Imperial War Graves Commission (now the Commonwealth War Graves Commission). It is present in Commonwealth war cemeteries containing 40 or more graves.

This is a naval museum of the Sri Lanka Navy in Trincomalee. It is located at Ostenburg, in the Trincomalee peninsula on a high ridge overlooking the entrance to the inner harbor of Trincomalee within the SLN Dockyard.

HMS Trincomalee Hartlepool's Maritime Experience Museum of Hartlepool
HMS Trincomalee is a Royal Navy Leda-class sailing frigate built shortly following the end of the Napoleonic Wars. She is now restored as a museum ship in Hartlepool, England.
HMS Trincomalee – brytyjska fregata typu Leda, zbudowana w 1817. Brała udział w wojnie krymskiej. W latach 90. XX w. przeprowadzono gruntowny remont i rekonstrukcję jednostki, która obecnie służy jako okręt muzeum i jest najstarszym brytyjskim okrętem wojennym utrzymującym się na wodzie.
The Trincomalee is one of two surviving British frigates of her era — her near-sister HMS Unicorn (of the modified Leda class) is now a museum ship in Dundee. After being ordered on 30 October 1812, the Trincomalee was built in Bombay, India by the Wadia family of shipwrights in teak, due to oak shortages in Britain as a result of shipbuilding drives for the Napoleonic Wars. The ship was named Trincomalee after the 1782 Battle of Trincomalee off the Ceylon (Sri Lanka) port of that name.
With a construction cost of £23,000, Trincomalee was launched on 12 October 1817. Soon after completion she was sailed to Portsmouth Dockyard where she arrived on 30 April 1819, with a journey costing £6,600.
After being fitted out at a further cost of £2,400, Trincomalee was placed in reserve until 1845, when she was re-armed with fewer guns giving greater firepower, had her stern reshaped and was reclassified as a sixth-rate spar-decked corvette.
Trincomalee departed from Portsmouth in 1847 and remained in service for ten years, serving on the North American and West Indies station. During her time, she was to help quell riots in Haiti and stop a threatened invasion of Cuba, and serve on anti-slavery patrol. In 1849, she was despatched to Newfoundland and Labrador before being recalled to Britain in 1850. In 1852 she sailed to join the Pacific Squadron on the west coast of America.
TS Foudroyant
Trincomalee finished her Royal Navy service as a training ship, but was placed in reserve again in 1895 and sold for scrap two years later on 19 May 1897. She was then purchased by entrepreneur George Wheatley Cobb, restored, and renamed Foudroyant in honour of HMS Foudroyant, his earlier ship that had been wrecked in 1897.
She was used in conjunction with HMS Implacable as an accommodation ship, a training ship, and a holiday ship based in Falmouth then Portsmouth. She remained in service until 1986, after which she was again restored and renamed back to Trincomalee in 1992.
Now listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, following her recent restoration the Trincomalee has become the centrepiece of the historic dockyard museum in Hartlepool.
The Trincomalee holds the distinction of being the oldest British warship still afloat as HMS Victory, although 52 years her senior, is in dry dock.
Until his death in 1929, the Falmouth-based painter Henry Scott Tuke used the ship and its trainees as subject matter.
W 1812 brytyjska Admiralicja złożyła w stoczni w Bombaju zamówienie na kolejną fregatę udanego typu Leda. Projekt okrętów powstał przez skopiowanie zdobytej francuskiej fregaty Hebe. Łącznie Brytyjczycy zbudowali 47 takich jednostek. Z uwagi na braki drewna dębowego budowę HMS Trincomalee zlecono stoczni w Bombaju, która dysponowała odpowiednim surowcem, jakim było drewno tekowe. Plany wysłano do stoczni na pokładzie okrętu HMS Java, który w drodze do Bombaju został zatopiony przez amerykańską fregatę USS Constitution i z tego powodu budowa została opóźniona o 3 lata. Okręt zwodowano w 1817 i przetransportowano do Wielkiej Brytanii, gdzie został przeniesiony do rezerwy.
W 1847 zmodernizowany okręt ponownie wszedł do służby. Działał w rejonie Indii Zachodnich i Kanady. W 1852 wszedł w skład Dywizjonu Pacyfiku i stacjonował w Vancouver. Wziął wtedy udział w wojnie krymskiej toczącej się także na wodach dalekowschodnich. W 1857 powrócił do Wielkiej Brytanii, gdzie został odstawiony do rezerwy. W 1861 został stacjonarnym okrętem szkolnym Royal Navy. W 1897 fregatę przeznaczoną do rozbiórki uratował przed zniszczeniem Wheatly Cobb prowadzący na starym okręcie liniowym prywatną szkołę morską. Przejął on kadłub Trincomalee i zmienił jego nazwę na Foudroyanta. W charakterze jednostki szkolnej był użytkowany do 1986. W 1989 na okręcie rozpoczął się remont i przebudowa. W 1992 przywrócono pierwotną nazwę okrętu HMS Trincomalee.
