Military Organisation: Maratha Navy Shivaji and Facets of Maratha Culture, edited by Saryu Doshi,

Title:Military Organisation: Maratha Navy Shivaji and Facets of Maratha Culture, edited by Saryu Doshi,
Author:Apte, B.K.
Publication:Marg
Enumeration:Vol. 34-2, p. 59-70
Abstract:Shivaji conquered most of the Konkan between 1657 and 1663, and launched a programme of ship-building in 1659. Within a decade, he had a sizeable fleet, which was used in his engagements with the Portuguese, Siddis, and Basrur (south Kanara). The marine forts formed the basic element in the naval strategy of the Marathas. The fleet itself consisted of warships and merchantships. It grew in numbers and tonnage under the Angre family of Maratha navy commanders. With the fall of the Angres, the Maratha navy also declined.
