Shipping from Hastings Bridge [Calcutta], ship 'Bombay' & s.s. 'Mauritius' 1865

View from Hastings Bridge from 'Views of Calcutta and Barrackpore' taken by Samuel Bourne in the 1860s. Hastings Bridge crossed the Tolly Nullah, a canal off of the Hooghly River, was named after the Governor-General Marquis of Hastings (1813-1823) administration. In 1874 this suspension bridge collapsed and was replaced by a stronger bridge. A view looking towards shipping in the Hooghly. The twin-funnelled paddle-steamer Mauritius and the three-masted sailing ship Bombay are moored in mid-stream.

Photographer: Johnston and Hoffmann
View looking down onto shipping on the river Hooghly, from a building near the Howrah Bridge, to the north of Chandpaul Ghat, the earliest main landing stage in Calcutta. At the extreme left is the large neo-classical structure of Chotulal's Ghat, and a little further north is Mullick's Ghat with the cast-iron structure. Ghat is the term used in India for a stepped embankment leading down to a river.

Bathing Ghat on the Hooghly River, Calcutta (Kolkata) 1885

Photographer: Johnston & Hoffmann
The view is from the Howrah Bridge in Calcutta, looking towards Chotulal's Ghat (Jagannath Ghat?), which stood on the east bank of the Hooghly river immediately to the north of the bridge. The ghat [stepped embankment] was crowned by a substantial structure in European classical style, topped by a drum. The date of construction is unknown, although it was in position by the mid-1870s. The ghat was still standing in the mid-1940s but has since been demolished.
