- User Conditions:
- Custodial History:
- Until 1863 the Government of India had its own combatant navy based at Bombay, entitled the Indian Navy (previous to 1830 it had been called the Bombay Marine). The Indian Navy was responsible with the Royal Navy for patrolling Asian waters and it also carried out regular marine surveys. In 1863 it was abolished and replaced by two non-combatant marine services based in Bombay and Bengal respectively. In 1877 it was decided to combine the Bombay and Bengal Marines into a new combatant service entitled HM Indian Marine, with Western (Bombay) and Eastern (Calcutta) Divisions - HM Indian Marine was renamed the Royal Indian Marine in 1892 and the Royal Indian Navy in 1934. The records listed below relate mainly to service in HM Indian Marine and its successors (to 1947) but, where appropriate, they also give details of an officer's previous service in the non-combatant Bombay Marine and in the pre-1863 Indian Navy.
