Full Steam Ahead

PENDING Mumbai gained prominence as a cotton trading and commercial centre in the mid nineteenth century. Hidden away in the history books is the fact that from 1736 to 1932 over 400 ships and vessels of various descriptions were built at the Bombay Dockyard. Added to that are some 220 odd ships and vessels built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd. from 1932 onwards, taking the total to well over 600 ships and vessels which is a singular achievement for any city or shipyard. Shipbuilding and Ship Repair is perhaps the oldest industry that continues to flourish in Mumbai even today. Join us on a walk through of DHAROHAR Museum to reminisce and celebrate this legacy of Make in India whose roots go many centuries back.
