Although the Wadia''s would eventually come to be considered a Bombay family, many of them remained in Surat, where one branch of the family established a break-up port (where ships are dismantled) that remains one of the largest of its kind in the world.By the 1840s the family was one of the leading forces in the Indian shipbuilding industry.
