About: 

E. B. Bhose was a missionary in charge of lascars in Britain. He was originally from Bengal and had worked with coolies in the West Indies before arriving in Britain. He was part of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.

In 1887, Bhose was appointed chaplain at St Luke's Lascar Mission in Victoria Docks. His mission room was also used as a Sunday school and a club room for leisure activities. Bhose visited lascars on the ships. He wrote regular mission reports which noted the observance of Muslim festivals by lascars in the ports. He died in 1905.
