THE NEW 'TELEGRAPH STEAM SHIP'-1879-PATRIC STEWART

Traditional engine order telegraph

An engine order telegraph or E.O.T., often also chadburn is a communications device used on a ship (or submarine) for the pilot on the bridge to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel at a certain desired speed. In early vessels, from the 1800s until about 1950, the device usually consisted of a round dial about nine inches (~20 centimetres) in diameter with a knob at the center attached to one or more handles, and an indicator pointer on the face of the dial. Modern E.O.T.s on vessels which still use them use electronic light and sound signals.

1878-ARRIVAL OF INDIAN TROOPS UNDER BRITISH IN MALTA -BY STEAM SHIP FROM BOMBAY

In 1878, the British controlled Indian government dispatched 7000 native Indian troops to the island of Malta. This was the first time the Indian Army was deployed outside the British Indian Empire, and questions regarding its constitutionality were raised in the British parliament. The move was seen as a signal, during the height of the Great Eastern Crisis, that Britain was ready to supplement its own forces with troops from India to counter any Russian threats to Turkey, or future wars in Europe.

And mind you its not only the men who score here.... for once we astonishingly find a place, for an era so old, without much gender discrimination. Yup! the ladies take away quite a few claps & hearts too !

Many bungalows at Chowpatty and on Malabar Hill were demolished in the 1950s. [This picture is taken before the bungalows were razed to make way for high-rise buildings.]
