Talking Photos: Abgotti Dhoko - From here we used to go to 'Bomboi' >From here we used to Go to ‘Bomboi’ or ‘Bombaim’ or Bombay (now mumbai) for just Rs.15 By ‘abgott’ named Sarita, Konkan Shakti & Konkan Sevak http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk25/4543267425/sizes/l/ Most Tarvotti also used to avail of this 'vapor' services. Today, it is a restricted area BUT half of it rented to Mint Casino CCP said it will not give NOC or License but Mint must have got it by other means.
See the left and the right markings http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk25/4543899124/sizes/l/ The board saying so http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk25/4543901866/ There is another such board, to the left of it. Little further, towards left, there is a Captain of Port Dept (CoP), followed by Casino Pride then come Casino Goa/Caravela, followed by Hotel Madovi Property? then come Ferry wharf. At the moment, nothing you can see of the port not even from the other side of the river Mandovi as the view is often blocked by the Cansino Boats such as Goa's Pride, Casino Goa/Caravela etc Here is a view - Pic 3 http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk19/3675394190/sizes/l/ I, on behalf of all, request our Govt. to throw this Nostalgic port open to all. We would like to take our children there. Let tourists enjoy it too. == Rs.15 to Bombay? Yes, the cheapest mode of travel by steamer /ship at that time. Most expensive mode being the Air Travel which was just Rs. 90 from the old Airport, Dabolim. cc to Goa Heritage group CoP (Sadly, Captain of Ports has no email ID) Governor [email protected] Director of Marines [email protected] Director RND [email protected] Manohar Parrikar - City MLA CCP Commisioner Elves pl forward to others too. thank you, [email protected] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
