In 1933, the 133-foot long yacht named “Annapoorani” set sailing from Valvettithurai, one of the ports in Jaffna. It reached the American port of Massachusetts successfully crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
The yacht was built with locally available woods in Jaffna. Although the yacht was initially built as a catamaran, upon request by the American buyer the yacht was converted into a steamship. – (Source – “Tamils who sailed from Valvettithurai to North America “) History of Eelam
