- Title:
- File 4259/1912 'Persian Gulf: Turks and lighting and buoying'
- Scope & Content:
-
The volume comprises telegrams, despatches, correspondence, memoranda, and notes, relating to lighting and buoying installed by the Turkish Government in the Persian Gulf.
Correspondence discusses concerns over the erection of a Turkish lighthouse in Fao and the basis upon which a protest could be lodged. Also discussed is the deployment of a Turkish lightship in the Shatt al-Arab, through the replacement of the old Turkish vessel (Kilidi Bahr) by a new lightship (Jaffari) and the ramifications of the correspondence with the Turkish Government about this matter. Dredging of various marine navigation channels by the Turkish Government is discussed. Part of these discussions and negotiations involved the creation of a Shatt al-Arab Navigation Commission.
The principal correspondents include the Viceroy (Charles Hardinge), the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf; HM Ambassador to Constantinople (Sir Gerard Lowther); and HM Consul at Basrah (Francis Edward Crow).
