- Title:
- Shipbreaking Yard, Bombay. Name of steamer unrecorded. The one on the right is the Royal Indian Marine Ship 'Clive'. Photographer: Venn, Thomas Walters
- Scope & Content:
- The Dharookhana, site of the H.E.I.C's gunpowder factory at Mazagon, the foreshore where ships were run aground for breaking up. This work was done entirely by sledge hammers in the hands of 'ghattis' or men from the Western Ghauts, more sinewy and powerful than their compatriots of Bombay City.
