The Heritage Sites of Maritime Maharashtra by M. S. Naravane Pdf

The Coast Of Maharashtra Has A Very Rich Maritime Tradition. Trade And Commerce Flourished From Ancient Times. Sopara, Chaul And Other Places On The Coast Were Famous Ports And Trading Marts. A Great Deal Of History Was Fashioned Along The Coast. The Mohammedan Powers Had No Interest In Sea Power And None Cared To Build A Navy. The European Powers Thus Found It Easy To Establish Themselves On The Shores Of India. On The Coast Of Maharasthra The Portuguese Had Establishments At Chaul, Bombay And Bassein. They Also Built A Number Of Forts. The English Started A Factory Of Surat, But Soon Shifted To Bombay And It Was From Here That They Started On That Road Of Political And Military Ambitions That Led To The Establishment Of An Empire. The Book Has Information About Some 170 Heritage Sites Situated Within 5 Kilometers From The Coast. Forts, Temples, Churches, Mosques, Dargahs, Lighthouses, All Have Been Covered. Photographs, Maps, Diagrams, Pen And Ink Sketches Add To The Value Of Book And Will Be Useful For The Tourist Or Enthusiastic Trekker.

Great Power Clashes along the Maritime Silk Road by Grant Frederick Rhode Pdf

Current concerns in maritime Eurasia are centered on rising powers China and India. By way of background to understanding the current regional great power rivalry within maritime Eurasia, this book asks what we can learn from historic Eurasian maritime geopolitical players and their interactions that will inform and enlighten today’s international relations practitioners. Great Power Clashes along the Maritime Silk Road examines three seminal historical cases of maritime clashes in the China Seas, four in the Indian Ocean, and one in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Each of these is an example of local or regional conflict reflecting the circumstances of time and place. The cases have been chosen to provide a comparative framework of significant premodern maritime clashes distributed along the full Eurasian maritime perimeter. Lessons include understanding struggles between continental and maritime powers in Eurasia, and understanding the decisive impact that naval leadership, intelligence, technology, alliances, and identity have had in the past and will have on the future.

Portuguese Colonial Military in India by Teddy Y.H. Sim Pdf

This book explores and analyzes developments in the military institution, military engagements as well as the larger security environment of (including non-war violence and maritime regions linking to) the Portuguese Empire in India. These developments occurred under the onslaught of the early modern globalization. The research shows that far from being dilapidated or archaic, the Portuguese colonial military there kept up with some developments in technology and organization in a competitive environment. Although the colonial military was not the most important reason in accounting for the survival of the Portuguese Estado da Índia, nor was the military profession the most lucrative occupation, the Portuguese experience gave indication of how a colonial state and society was able to survive against coalescing threats from the position of weakness. Located in the period and geographical region of the wax and waning of the Mughal and Maratha empires, Portuguese India was not necessarily a more violent place than the surrounding territories although resistance to and uprising against the Portuguese was usually underestimated. Beginning from the attempt at political and military centralization (and standardization) in the eighteenth century, the abolition of the army of the Estado da Índia in the nineteenth marked nominally the end of an era that may have a reverberation on the pacifist perception of Goa today.

Shipbuilding, Navigation and the Portuguese in Pre-modern India by K.S. Mathew Pdf

India, especially coastal India, has a long history of shipbuilding and navigation dating back to the Indus Valley Civilization. Indian shipwrights and the labour force associated with various aspects of shipbuilding excelled in naval architecture. Their native wisdom was adopted by the Europeans engaged in shipbuilding in coastal India. Similarly some of the techniques of navigation followed by Indians were emulated by the European mariners. A comprehensive peep into the science of naval architecture and navigation is attempted in this work making a comparative study of Indian and Portuguese architecture and navigation. The volume discusses the importance of the timber grown in the monsoon-fed forests of the Malabar coast and its appreciation by the Portuguese shipwrights and theoreticians of naval architecture. The work shows that increase of the tonnage of ocean-going vessels and the appearance of hostile mariners from other quarters of Western Europe compelled the Portuguese to adopt enhanced technology in naval architecture and navigation. The fact that the use of canons for defence against intruders made the Portuguese vessels stronger than the Indian ships which, for centuries, were accustomed to considerably peaceful navigation is also brought out in this much anticipated volume.

Documenting Maritime Heritage at Risk by Elizabeth Shotton,Oriel Prizeman Pdf

"Documenting Maritime Heritage at Risk addresses the need to document coastal heritage and considers attendant questions regarding long-term conservation, and the role communities could have in addressing this issue. Presenting community-based case studies and guidance on survey methodologies, the book offers insights into the documentation and analysis of coastal heritage, and the potential of digital tools. Communities living along the coast, who are deeply attached to their heritage, are facing these threats very directly - and often with a sense of having little agency in the discussions or decisions being taken. Yet, as the book demonstrates, they could have a central role to play as first-hand observers of the impact of climate change on their heritage. The collection offers an overview of the invaluable role different participants, working collectively, could have in the documentation and management of endangered maritime heritage. Documenting Maritime Heritage at Risk provides a vital resource for researchers and students engaged in the study of maritime heritage. It will also be of great interest to practitioners, such as local heritage or conservation officers and marine engineers who bear the primary responsibility for maintaining coastal heritage sites"--
