Gorabunder [Ghodbander] landing place 15070, 1850 - 1879
Scope and Contents
251 x 200 mm. View from the open landing place near the shore looking along the road leading to the collector’s lodge (see Y3022A/39) on the hill in the background. With waterfront houses of European style in the left foreground. The placename Gorabunder is not to be found in ‘The Imperial Gazetteer of India’; a tentative identification of this location is Ghodbander, a port on the northern coast of Sasotte Island in the Thana District on the left bank of Bassein Creek. The town administered a customs division of five ports in the area.
