The sights were AMAZING, and while photography is prohibited on the dock itself, I did manage to sneak a few from afar. (Note: It was dark and pouring rain while we were there, so photographing the sites was difficult-especially balancing an umbrella- please bear with some slightly blurry shots.)
It was like we were transported back by 100 years....wooden fishing boats were tied together, then tied to the dock. Men were squatting in mountains of fish on the boats, putting them into woven baskets, then throwing them up one at a time to people on the dock. The baskets would then make their way to the vendors along the dock, all of them shouting out bids on their fish. It was like Wall Street, but wet and dirty and fishy.
Another cool experience here in Mumbai!
