History of Mumbai - Hornby Vellard
The British governor William Hornby launched the Hornby Vellard project to connect the islands for a sum of Rs 1 lakh (100,000). An approval for the reclamation was sought from the directors of the East India Company in England and Hornby expected it to be approved and proceeded on with the reclamation without official permission. In 1772 the second reclamation took place to fill in the shallows between the islands of Parel, Worli, Bombay, Mahim and Mazagaon by building a bund to prevent the ingress of the sea, thus gaining valuable land.
However, Hornby's project was denied by the Company a year later and the project deemed illegal, resulting in Hornby being sacked. The bund however, was already completed by then, so reclamation had to take place. By 1884, the entire sea portions between the islands were reclaimed connecting five islands.
