Walk the Dock
Mar 06 '21 | 08:30 AM (IST)
Event Information
A hidden inscription on HMS Cornwallis read “This ship was built by a goddamn black fellow in 1800”
The above quote pretty much told the world (read: The British) that the Indians had arrived. Despite severe opposition and racial discrimination, Bombay’s ship builders were among the best in the world. The docks were a seat of soft power during the British Era and India ship builders, such as the Wadia family, were royalty.
Over the years, Bombay became an important trading port and all the credit needs to go to arduous backbreaking work done by the master builders. They truly made Bombay the urbs primus d indus
