Rameswaram, India, 1969
The ferry across Palk Strait from Sri Lanka went to Rameswaram; it had formerly gone to Dhanushkodi but that settlement had been totally destroyed by a cyclone in 1964 with a loss of over 1800 lives.
Rameswaram did not have a jetty. Consequently our car had to be offloaded onto a platform made of two small barges lashed together which brought it ashore. It was then rolled off onto a small ramp which led to the beach.
