Note: This is not the Fulta or Fultah where in 1756, a multitude of British settlers sought refuge after the nawab Siraj ud-Daulah took control of Calcutta. That Fulta is on the Hooghly River, some 20 miles south of Calcutta. Admiral Watson and Robert Clive were at Fulta around 6 December 1756, preparing to attack Calcutta.
