- Title:
- File 53/11 II (D 11) Kuwait: Sheikh's Fao Properties, 1905-1910
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence regarding Shaikh Mubārak Āl Ṣabāḥ's (the ruler of Kuwait) ownership of date gardens in Fao [the Al Faw Peninsula]. Much of the correspondence is between British officials but the file also contains copies - in both English and Arabic - of correspondence directly between Mubārak and British officials.
The correspondence discusses tensions between Mubārak and the Ottoman authorities in Basra regarding his ownership of land surrounding a military fort in Fao and British attempts to mediate in this disagreement. A sketch map of this land is contained in the file on folio 177.
On folio 51 the file contains a copy - in Arabic - of a settlement agreed between Mubārak and his relatives regarding ownership of properties in Fao. The settlement was registered at the British Consulate in Bussora [Basra] 8 January 1908.
