Sassoon Dock - Mumbai

Sasson Dock, located near the most happening Colaba Causeway locality in Mumbai, is the first commercial wet dock. It was established in 1871 to promote the cotton trade. It was built on the reclaimed land by Albert Sassoon, the British Indian businessman who ran the "David Sassoon and Co.".

The entrance that welcomes the visitor into the dock has heritage significance. It has a beautiful clock tower. The famous watch maker from London, John Bennett Company, made the clock.

The entrance would lead you to the biggest fish market in Mumbai.

Happy travelling.
