Sadashevgad Cemetery. The North Canara Coast. Photographer: Venn, Thomas Walters
- Scope & Content:
-
There are seven graves, three of which (including an officer's lady) bore inscriptions in 1930. Perhaps young Hodges was the first to be laid here, though nothing confirms that. Another may be a Capt. Stewart who died near Karwar in 1800; but the last troops to garrison Sadashewgad was a company of Madras Native Company who, when they were withdrawn in1817 were not replaced. The only other relics of the period are two cannons bearing the date of 1798 and the cypher of George III. Pollen, the past collector of Karwar District brought them from Sadashevgad and remounted them at Kona Point.
