The Lascar War Memorial stands in Kolkata as a historic monument, raised to honour the lascar sailors of the British Indian merchant marine who died in the First World War. Its form is unusual: a slender column topped by a model of a ship, a deliberate nod to the seafaring lives it commemorates. Visitors come for the monument itself and for what surrounds it, since the memorial sits in a part of the city where tearooms, jazz-age restaurants, Georgian tombs and the city's brightest Christmas all lie within easy reach. For many travellers it is the anchor of a first trip to Kolkata, a single stop that opens onto the city's colonial-era streetscape and its older commercial heart. The 241 stays in the area, among them 4 5-star hotels, 15 4-star hotels and 134 3-star hotels, make it a practical base as well as a sight.
