Come join us to explore the history, business and culture of the historic Sassoon Dock. One of the first commercial wet docks of the city, Sassoon’s history can be dated back to the Victorian era, when trade in Mumbai was at its zenith. Albert David Sassoon, an entrepreneur and son of the famous businessman David Sassoon, orchestrated the construction of the docks in order to land cotton and other trading commodities. The history of the Docks, mirror the growing prosperity of this city. While this functioned as the earliest wet dock, subsequent construction of larger wet docks put Sassoon slowly into oblivion. Today, Sassoon is home to a daily trade of over 100 tonnes of fish with a melee of fishermen plying their trade, women an men hustling in order to sell and buy the freshest catch and endless queues of trucks waiting to load fish for exports making Sassoon dock a beehive of cultural activity. The walk has a heady mix of history and culture, making it suited for varied interests that you might have. So come join us, and we promise you a morning of lesser known histories, unique cultural conversations and learn the business challenges faced by the first people of Mumbai.
