Bombay Port--now a Museum, status

Bombay Port--that was once a great a shipping centre and a textile mill centre that once was-has completely changed. Can barely recognise this now as the Docks are all closed.

With the name Mumbai ---in the last 2 decades, just changed to a pure business centre (Dalal street) and Bollywood tinsel town and -later a strange mix.... of what ever. God knows.
 
We who have spent our youth-joining a sea career, studies in Basic Training on T.S.DUFFERIN off Mazagaon Pier & LBS Nautical & Engg College can never forget it. Nor the Alexandra for larger ships and , Victoria & Princess Docks for smaller Coastal ships-
I was rather saddened to learn last month that both Victoria &Princess Docks have been Filled in--ending an era of Maritime History.
 
Now it will be just this Museum reported in mirror --http://www.mumbaimirror.com/others/sunday-read/Bombay-Dock-on-the-menu/articleshow/20611278.cms.
Nothing lasts long--esp Maritime heritage in India esp !!
