Shipping; East India company control; the Bombay maritime country trade; the country ship owners; the mariners; the country ships - the decline in European commitment.
Anne Bulley
'...is analysed and described with a lot of substantial
information, little stories, delightful anecdotes, and plenty of
data... . Very impressive is the author's prosopographic
reconstruction of the Indian as well as British country traders.
Bulley admits that hardly any information is available but
nonetheless she is able to paint a rough but colourful picture of
several persons involved in the country trade business...abounds in
lovely details which make The Bombay Country Ships relaxing and
sometimes amusing reading.' - Michael Mann, Internationales
Asienforum

and she presents what she has found with admirable clarity.' -

'This scholarly work will be welcome by economic and social
historians of the sub-Continent; archaeologists and historians of
technology will also find it useful since there is virtually no
excavated evidence for ships (European or indigenous) or their
cargo in Indian waters.' - Seán McGrail, Nautical Archaeology
