Description

Bombay (now called Mumbai) Harbor was home to the East India Company which made its headquarters there in 1672. It became the center of British Authority in India in 1708 and with the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, it became the largest distributing center in India. Victory by the hankster

Excellent!!! Excellent!!!! YES, YES, YES!!! Very well done!!! Looks like someone has been writing down all my critiques of the use of the Victory, and historical realism. You know what would be a neat touch? Having small lines of clothes drying on lines between some of the ported ships, which was allowed when a ship was in port. Also on most of the ships, awnings would be up on the quarterdecks, poop decks, and fo'c'le decks to shade the officers and crew from the glaring Indian sun and the oppressive heat. I just had another thought: this scene reminds me of a still from an old hollywood seafaring movie, ala "Captain Horatio Hornblower", with Gregory Peck; or "Damn the Defiant", with Alec Guinness... ;D I hope you don't mind Kenwas, I saved this for a wallpaper? Really, Really Well Done. One of the best.
