Use the passage below to answer all parts of the question that follows.
Shipbuilding in Bombay (1811), William Taylor Money
"There being then in England no wood, which approaches the oak in fitness for shipbuilding, we must look out of England for those supplies which her exhausted forests cannot afford-and where should we so naturally direct our attention as to her own dominions.
"Upon the same ground of independence of foreign aid, that we seek supplies from our transatlantic dominions . . . in a time of need [we must] render the vast resources of our possessions in the East subservient to the wants of the mother country. The teak of Western India may be obtained in abundance for all the purposes of naval architecture, for which it is known to be eminently adapted. . . .
"[B]y building at Bombay, to which my present argument is confined, the supply of shipping to the navy and to the East India Company cannot be so immediate, or so extensive, as to produce the calamitous consequences predicted by the memorialists, [journalists] while the aid afforded to those great maritime interests must be considerable."
William Taylor Money (1769-1834) served seven years as the British Superintendent of the Bombay Marine, the British East India Company's navy in India. He later served as a member of the British Parliament and on the Board of Directors of the British East India Company.
