Subject CMFRI
 
Description The British constructed the Naval
Hospital on a war footing. It was built of
coral stone, the only local material
available. All the old buildings along'the
Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay were
constructed with coral stone, including
the famous Rameswaram Temple and
the church built by the Dutch at Tuticorin
in 1750. Now, construction of buildings
with coral stone is banned to conserve
coral reefs.
