Originally taken by the Portuguese in 1510 it remarkably stayed in their possession until 1961 right through the period of British domination of the subcontinent. A number of boats are shown and interesting a number of elephants are working the port. It appears in volume eight of the Abbe Prevost’s ‘Histoire Generale des Voyages’.
