Trani, a small town with a commercial and fishing harbour, lies in a natural bay 6. 5 miles ESE of Barletta. It is suitable for vessels up to 60 m in length with a draught of 4. 5 m, but is subject to silting and is dredged periodically. Anchorage may be obtained with good holding ground, in the lee of Braccio di San Nicola, except in winds from E.
