Description:

Abstract: The volume contains correspondence and notes by British officials about proposals for the establishment of wireless telegraph stations in the Persian Gulf at Bahrain, Bushire, Debai [Dubai] and Zora near Ajman instead of Kuwait. The main correspondents are the following: ministers and senior officials at the Foreign Office, the India Office and the Admiralty in London; the Viceroy and Governor General of India in Council and his senior officials at both the Foreign Department and the Marine Department of the Government of India in Calcutta and Simla [Shimla]; the Commander-in-Chief, HM Ships and Vessels, East Indies Squadron (also referred to as the Naval Commander-in-Chief) and the Commander and Senior Naval Officer, Persian Gulf Division. They also discuss arms control and relations with the chiefs of the Trucial Coast shaikhdoms, the drafting of a Trucial Coast Order in Council conferring on the Bahrain Political Agent jurisdiction over British subjects and foreigners in Bahrain, and the cost of establishing a Vice-Consulate at Lingah. Included in the correspondence is a report of a naval coastal survey of the Khor (inlet) at Zora near Ajman together with a navigational plan of the entrance to the Al Ajman and Zora Khors, made in 1911.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the first folio with 1 and terminates at the inside back cover with 213; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. A previous foliation sequence has been partially superseded and therefore crossed out. The front cover and a preceding flyleaf have not been foliated.
