The Fort is now a melancholy ruin deserted except for the Port officer's bungalow. Till late in the last century Masulipatam or Bunder, to give it its popular native name, was the seaport where troops disembarked and took the high road for the Deccan stations. The town is a mile and a half from the Fort, a paved causeway across a swamp connecting the two.
