- FILE NO. 3/6 I cf. 1929. PURCHASE, UPKEEP, AND REPAIRS TO LAUNCHES.
- Scope & Content:
-
Correspondence concerning the purchase, upkeep and repair to the Bahrain Agency steam launches John Lambert and Felix Jones. The John Lambert was made in 1918 by the Royal Indian Marine Dockyard at Calcutta and had a thorough overhaul in May 1930.
A large part of the correspondence is requests and invoices for engines, spare parts and paint from various companies including: B.R. Herman and Mohatta, Karachi; and John I. Thorneycroft; Yusuf bin Ahmed Kanoo; the Mesopotamia Persia Corporation Ltd. Includes a copy of a defect list compiled in 1929 of the Bahrain Agency Steam Launch John Lambert and insurance policies and bills of lading.
Imperial Airways declined to purchase either launch. On 19 June 1934 Gordon Loch wrote a letter (folio 158) to the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf informing him that after considerable difficulty in obtaining offers he had been able to sell the John Lambert to be broken up and that he had succeeded in renovating the Felix Jones.
