Welcome to our website celebrating the venerable Dwarka built in 1947 for British India Line. The Dwarka was perhaps the most famous and long serving of the British India Steam Navigation Company’s postwar “D” class ships built between 1946 and 1950. The Dwarka, like her sisters, served on British India Line’s Persian Gulf service. Remarkably this route was one of British India Line’s longest surviving services and lasted till Dwarka was retired in 1982.
