South Korean harbor
Gangguan Port (강구안), is a fishing harbour in Tongyeong, South Korea. The mountainous and maritime surroundings of the South Gyeongsang Province attract thousands of tourists.
History.
Turtle Ships led by Admiral Yi Sun-sin during mid-Joseon times, played an important role in naval battles against Japanese forces during the Imjin War. Battles included the 1597 Battle of Myeongnyang and the 1592 Battle of Hansando near Tongyeong. Following Yi Sun-sin's leadership, Tongyeong became a strategic naval hub, hosting the Tongyeong Samdo Sugun military district from 1604. This district served as a central naval station defending Gyeongsang, Jeolla, and Chungcheong provinces for Joseon.
The Chungryelsa Shrine, build in 1606, commemorates Yi's historic deeds. It houses Yi's spiritual tablet and tombstone, as well as records of his achievements as a naval commander. A statue of him is located on top of the Nammang-san mountain.
