"Hand-colored engraving: Geriah Fort, India. Published circa 1760. The scene depicted is that of the British-commanded Indo-Portuguese naval force which attacked the base of the Maratha warrior Tulajee Angre called as Pirate by British on the 13th of February 1756. The British Admirals Pocock and Watson with their Indo-Portuguese manned naval force (the first time such a mixed force had been used in a military situation) were attempting to suppress Tulagee Angria who had been attacking Portuguese and English shipping."
