Martello fort was a round brick fort made by imitating the fort Mortella in Corsica (an island in the Mediterranean). First, the island is Kelor Batavia front guard to defend against enemy naval attack from the ocean. Guardians of the island will monitor the sea area in front of him and preach in Batavia if the enemy ship appeared on the horizon.
The community is also called the island as the Island cemetery. It is said that some rebels are buried around the castle. One is a rebel against the Dutch from the ship Zeven Provincien in February 1933. Unfortunately, half of the outside of the fort is now covered with bushes so it was easy to navigate.
The original fort building is actually much broader than can be witnessed today. The fort was left just inside. Most of the fortress collapsed and submerged in water due to abrasion that erode the island.
These three islands can be reached from the Kamal Muara Port, Muara Angke and Marina, Ancol. Two that I call the first port is a port of the muddy and dirty people.
Sea? Do not ask again. To reach the islands, the ship must pass through the sea foul smelling, thick black due to pollution. Several times the boat had to stop in the middle of the sea as trash stuck to the blades. When I was there, the propellers turned his attention to such long strings are difficult to remove.
After a half hour drive, black color gradually disappeared while the water remained blue. Island Kelor within 15 minutes from the coast of Jakarta, sea water still looked dirty so it is not advisable to bathe here.
Blue sea in the Bay of Jakarta at least a new will appear around the island of Scouting. However, the Thousand Islands can be an alternative choice that a short and pleasant trip for people in Jakarta.
