Since the seventeenth century there existed a keen competition among European Maritime powers to trade with India. The first among the Europeans to reach the shores of Kerala were the Portuguese. They were followed by the Dutch the French and then the British. The English East India Company began its trade with India in 1600. Within a span of one hundred and fifty years it acquired territorial control in different parts of India. Author's present study deals with the East India Company's Timber Trade that was carried on between the Malabar Province and the Bombay Town between 1792 and 1823.
