Such was his might that he became the undisputed master of the sea on the western coast of India, right from Surat up till Vengurla.

            As per the official history of his family, Kanhoji was a Maratha by birth, and his family name was ‘Sankpal’, which later changed to Angria or Angre, based on the name of their village ‘Angarvadi’. His father Tukoji had served under Shivaji, and in his footsteps, Kanhoji too joined the service of the Marathas. The Maratha ruler, Rajaram, appointed him the admiral of the navy in 1698 and gave him the title of Sarkhel.

            Kanhoji led the Maratha navy established by Shivaji. He used his ships to protect Maratha merchants from the pirates operating in the Malabar, and in securing the sovereignty of the sea for the Maratha state. For fulfilling these aims, Kanhoji set up a base in Kolaba, a small island fort close to Alibag, and established stations at Suvarndurg and Vijaydurg in Ratnagiri. He compelled the foreign traders to buy a pass or a license issued by him to enter the Indian waters. Any failure on their part was met with swift retribution, by way of the capture of men and the destruction of vessels.
