Sea fight with the Mahrattas (Maratha sailors), who captured the East India Company ship
Sea fight with the Mahrattas (Maratha sailors), who captured the East India Company ship Ranger on 5 (or 8) April 1783, an action which went against the Treaty of Salbai which had ended the First Anglo-Maratha War (1775-1782). The ship was under the command of Lieutenant-Commander Pruen, sailing from Bombay to take high-ranking military officers to the British Army. The Mahratta fleet was commanded by the Peshwa Navys Admiral, Aninid Rao Dhoolup (Anandrao Dhulap), who seemed to be unaware of the Salbai peace treaty. Date: 1783

EDITORS COMMENTS
Sea Fight with the Mahrattas: A Defiant Clash in the Waters of the Indian Ocean, 1783 This evocative print captures the intense moment of a sea fight between the Maratha sailors, led by Admiral Aninid Rao Dhoolap (Anandrao Dhulap), and the East India Company's ship, the Ranger, under the command of Lieutenant-Commander Pruen. The event took place on the 5th of April, 1783, an unexpected engagement that went against the recently signed Treaty of Salbai, which had officially ended the First Anglo-Maratha War (1775-1782). The Ranger, on a mission to transport high-ranking military officers from Bombay, was sailing in the Indian Ocean unaware of the peace treaty. The Mahratta fleet, seemingly oblivious to the agreement, was under the command of the formidable Peshwa Navy Admiral, Aninid Rao Dhoolap. The print depicts the fierce battle between the two forces, with the Ranger's crew fighting valiantly against the determined Maratha sailors. The Treaty of Salbai had brought an end to years of conflict between the British East India Company and the Maratha Empire. However, this unexpected engagement showcases the complexities and challenges of maintaining peace in the 18th century. James Grant's detailed account of the battle, which took place in the early 1780s, highlights the strategic maneuvers, bravery, and determination of both sides. The print serves as a testament to the unyielding spirit of the seafaring communities of the time, who continued to shape the political landscape of the Indian subcontinent.
