Bombay, now known as Mumbai, is made up of seven islands. Bombay Castle was built by the Portuguese in the 16th century and used as part of their trading centre for spices. The English took over the Castle in 1668 and it was used by the East India Company. Here is the map accompanying John Burnell's account of Bombay in time of Queen Anne (1665-1714).
