- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains papers regarding the proposed expansion of the Admiralty fuel depot on the Maalla plain [Al Ma'alla] near Aden harbour. The file mainly consists of correspondence between the Admiralty, the India Office Political Department, the Aden Chief Commissioner, the Aden Port Trust, and the Government of India Foreign Department.
The topics discussed include: possible sites for the enlargement, with reference made to Admiralty Chart No. 3660; the appointment of a Civil Engineer to conduct a site survey; the possibility of the Admiralty acquiring the land free of charge, under the terms of a 1928 agreement which stated that Crown land in charge of a municipal authority or local body could be made available free of cost for imperial purposes; and negotiations with the Compagnie des Messageries Martimes, to acquire a harbour site currently occupied by them.
The file includes Admiralty map 504/36 (folio 22) showing a section of the Aden harbour and the area identified for the fuel depot expansion.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the end of the correspondence (folio 1).
