Mahim Fort
Map of Bombay (post 1805)
The Mahim Fort is a fort in Mahim, in Mumbai (Bombay), India. It was built by the first governor of Bombay, Gerald Aungier (1669-1677). It was part of the larger Bombay Castle. It overlooks the Mahim Bay and Bandra to the north. Strategically located it was a defence post against possible Portuguese attacks from the north (which owned the Salsette Island across the Mithi River) and later from the Marathas.
In 1684, the fort was strengthened by Sir Thomas Grantham. In 1772, the Portuguese attempted to attack this fort, but they were repelled by the British with cannonballs. The Mount Mary's Bascilica also was damaged during this encounter. According to accounts, the fort had 100 soldiers and 30 cannons at that time.
The fort lies off the Mahim Causeway which links the suburbs to the city. The mushrooming of slums and encroachment around the fort has led to it being in a dilapidated state, with cracks appearing. Tidal changes in the Mahim Creek have also contributed to structural changes. The Bandra-Worli Sea Link poses a threat to it.
