Everything about Suvarnadurg totally explained
Suvarnadurg (also spelt in
England as
Severndroog) is an island
fortress near Harnai in
Konkan, along the western coast of
India, between
Mumbai and
Goa. It was built by
Shivaji, initially to counter the Siddi, but was also used as a defence against European interests and was a base for the Maratha navy's ship-building facility.
In the mid-
18th century, the fortress became the base of Maratha Admiral Tulaji Angre (also spelt Tollagee Angria; son of Admiral
Kanhoji Angre), but was attacked and destroyed by a force led by
William James on
2 April 1755.
Severndroog Castle in southeast London was named after Suvarnadurg and built to commemorate Commodore Sir William James who destroyed the fortress.
