Voted and resteemed it

Seeing the contest today I am very happy, because the illustration of the image provided by @xpilar is "Cape town", The city where I live is one of the Cape town is surrounded by the ocean.

The city of Lhokseumawe is one of the cities in Aceh province, Indonesia. The city of Lhokseumawe is the meaning of two words combined with the island's existence. In Aceh language "Lhok" it means Deep, Bay, Trough, and Sea. While the word "Seumawe" intends water circling or springs center on the sea along the offshore Banda Sakti (capital of Lhokseumawe which is cape town) and surrounding areas.

Once upon a time In the 19th century Lhokseumawe city was still one of the cape towns that made it the headquarters of foreigner ships who wanted to trade in this city. However, after the 20th century foreign ships no longer entered Cape town of Lhokseumawe, besides local fishing boats.

Now the city of Lhokseumawe continues to grow, but there are no more foreign ships that stop here, because the port has been moved to Krueng Geukuh (One of the subdistrict capital of Aceh province) which is about 12 kilometers from the city of Lhokseumawe.

Lhokseumawe is the second largest city in Aceh province after the capital of Banda Aceh province. This is what causes the city to go ahead and not behind in terms of information and others even though this city is no longer a Cape town as in the era of the 19th century.

Pinisi ship made by the famous Bugis people long ago used to explore the world.


People know Australia is an area of ​​British colonies pioneered since 1788 as a place of exile of prisoners and prostitutes. But based on research the literature shows that Bugis have sailed to Australia to look for a tripang before European explorers reach the continent.

However, Bugis (Sulawesi) do not claim and do not make Aboriginal people as their subordinates. Unlike the English who controlled the continent of the Kangaroos.

In the history of Indonesia, the Buginese famous for the Pinisi ship had roamed the waters of the archipelago to Madagascar in Africa in the 2nd, 4th and 10th centuries. While at the time of Sriwijaya, Bugis people also sailed to Australia and Africa again in the 17th century.

People call Bugis at that time actually include sub-tribe Konjo, Mandar, Bugis and Makassar. This type of pinisi timber ship has taken an important role in the history of Indonesian shipping for centuries.

At first, Europeans were not interested in making Australia their colony. However, later England felt stricken because the most important colonies in the American continent independence in the year 1776 the United States.

Inggrisi is also troubled by their prison system that no longer can accommodate the inmates. So Australia began to ogled as a promising land for the formation of a new colony. Britain then decided to send inmates who had not been able to accommodate British prisons to Australia to be the first generation to build colonies there.

In Alwi Alatas writing, a doctorate of history at the Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia cited hidayatullah, explaining the formation of this new colony began in January 1788.
Since that year the British sent inmates to Australia gradually until the mid-19th century has sent 150,000 people. Twenty percent of these are women and work as prostitutes.

After the colony's economy began to flourish, non-prisoner immigrants from various European countries began to flock to the Australian continent. Nonetheless, it is the nuns who have embarked on modern Australian history.

The people and children of the descendants of the prisoners and prostitutes are the first generation of Australian society and society that has now developed. Since then it has opened the way for the formation of a new civilization on two very large continents of America and Australia.

The Portuguese ship Flor de la Mar (Mawar Lautan) ran aground in Indonesian waters near the Malacca Strait. Until now the ship's shipwreck is still mysterious. The ship, in its belly carrying the treasure, became an international treasure hunter.

A team of young researchers from the University of Indonesia (UI) is now trying to trace the footsteps of Flor de la Mar . On Friday (20/11) they presented the initial results of the document's research in the National Seminar of Archeology at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences (FIB) UI.

Yudi Bachrioktora, a member of the young research team, said Flor de la Mar is known to have sunk in an area known as the Diamond Point, the Malacca Strait. Or in Indonesia known as Tanjung Jamboair.

"It is thus valid that the ship is sinking in Indonesian waters," he said. Previously the ship was allegedly sinking in the waters of Malaysia.

Flor de la Mar sank in December 1511 while en route to Goa, India. The ship's captain was a famous sailor from the Portuguese Alfonso de Albequerque. Alfonso was the first Portuguese and European to master the Straits of Malacca in favor of the Portuguese.

Yudi said the shipwreck after passing through the territory of Haru Kingdom (Aru) on the east coast of Sumatra. The kingdom of Haru and Malacca is a major rival in terms of international trade and ships from the west and east.

Where is the exact location of the shipwreck of Flor de la Mar? Yudi said the ship has not been found physical shipwreck.

As quotedBetween last July, UI archaeologist Ali Akbar declared Indonesian Maritime Archeology Expedition is designed to map the locations of shipwrecks throughout Indonesia. According to him, the location of Indonesia which became the sea crossing since long ago not all successful navigable for various reasons.

"There are quite a few sinking vessels such as the Portuguese, Dutch and Chinese vessels from the 1500-1800 period, estimated at 400 ships that sank in Indonesian waters, reaching a larger number if calculated as well as before and after," he said.

According to Ali Akbar, for the initial phase, it will coordinate with various relevant agencies and local governments. Furthermore, the waters will be divided into several survey areas.

"The area to be surveyed first is around the northern island of Sumatra that is also targeting the shipload of suspected shipwrecked in the region.The Malacca Strait has always been one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world One of the most hunted vessels of hunters the treasure on a sunken ship is Flor de la Mar or Flower of the Sea , "he said.

Flor de la Mar is the most sought after vessel because at the time of drowning in 1511 it contained the treasures that the Portuguese brought after conquering the Kingdom of Malacca. At the time of sailing to Portugal, the ship is expected to be hit by a storm around Aceh and has since never been traced back to its existence.

chooll.... story

Told, there is a village called Kampung Pematang Panjang, located on the banks of the river Blumei. The river is a means of traffic that connects the Rantau Panjang trading center on the beach to Kampung Talun Kenas located in the upper Blumei river. For the Talun Kenas people with Karo ethnicity, when buying and selling to Pasar Rantau Panjang, on the way back, always stop by and rest in Kampung Pematang Panjang (Tanjung).

Without a clear cause, one day there was a dispute between some residents of Kampung Talun Kenas with some residents of Kampung Pematang Panjang. The dispute is unstoppable, even ending

with a fight. Villagers of Talun Kenas lost and they reported the incident to the village head. Vengeful resentment makes them agree, avenge defeat by way of attacking again. Then they send five spies who move at night, to know the field and the strength of the enemy.

At the time of doing the action, the spies feel very tired, then they lay down under a shady tree and grounded the tree's leaves. Apparently the leaf is a nyelu nettle leaf (the most itchy leaves). Not too long ago, the itching attacked them. The itching turns into pain by scratching their hands, so the investigation is stopped. Their mission failed miserably, they went back to Talun Kenas village without any fruit.

Resentment and guilt arise in their hearts. What can make, everything has happened outside the plan. Then they reported everything that happened to the chief. They also suggested that the attack be canceled, because they thought that the residents of Kampung Pematang Panjang (Tanjung) already know the evil plan they will do. They say, "It's better for us to stop our plan than to be hit by disaster, let alone the people, the trees are just laughing (angry) to us, the pain is unbearable, especially if the people laugh, unimaginable how sick, eyes affected by the nettle.

Subsequently, the chief sent them to Kampung Tanjung to apologize, as well as to ask the antidote for the illness they suffered. It turns out that good intentions get a good reception too. They are also forgiven by the people of Tanjung, while the antidote is enough to rub the ground into the itch.

Based on the event of merawanya trees, finally they added the word Tanjung with the word "merawa", so the village changed its name to Kampung Tanjung Merawa. The word merawa turns into 'Morawa', according to the speech of the Dutch who began to enter the village. Since then until now, the village is known as "Kampung Tanjung Morawa".
