Inscriptions:Numerous annotations concerning the routes, topography of the regions and local tribes, with submarine telegraph cable and two circles based on Ras Musandam and Bushire, inserted in black ink and pencil.The verso of the map contains a report written by Lewis Pelly, to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Bombay, 17 February 1863 on the landscape of the Persian Gulf, tribal ownership of coastline areas and pearl banks, and regarding the area surrounding Bushire. The report starts by describing the area from Kuwait to Dhahran, which Pelly claims is known as Adân [Al ‘Adān]; the area from Katiffe [Al Qaţīf] to Ojair [Al ‘Uqayr], which he refers to as Hujar, and the area from Ojair to the ports of the Beni Yas [Banī Yās] which he describes as Qatar. Within the Qatar area Pelly refers to Zabareh [Zubārah] which he describes as a place of note and considerable population and trade some 40 years previously. Pelly then proceeds to describe the areas the Wahabees [Wahhabi] claim ownership to; to describe the village of Cassab [Khaşab]; and to describe the pearl banks of the Persian Gulf, including their shared ownership, fishing processes, where the pearls are sold too, and how they are managed and patrolled during the pearl season. Further points made in the report include a possible overland route to Aden; and descriptions of Bushire including its agricultural population, estimated trade, taxes paid by local families. The report concludes by laying out possible ways in which the British Government and its armies could access Persia via Bushire or Hallilah [Heleh?] should they wish to launch a military offensive, including accessibility of various routes and the best times to travel on them.Physical description: Dimensions:520 x 721 mm; on sheet 575 x 916 mmFoliation:The map sheet has been foliated using a pencil number enclosed in a circle in the top right hand corner of the recto of the sheet.
