- Title:
- Bombay Harbour. The S.S. Bahaduri. Many years commodore ship of the Bombay Steam Navigation Co. Ltd. The binnacle compass by which she had been steered through 45 years of monsoon & fair weather watches the progress of demolition. 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.
