- Title:
- Coll 30/16 'Persian Gulf: Surveys: Survey by HMS Ormonde, etc'
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence between British officials regarding a number of naval surveys of the coastline and islands of the Persian Gulf that were completed by Royal Navy vessels including HMS Challenger and HMS Ormonde.
In addition to the logistical and technical aspects of these surveys, the political context and reception of them locally is also frequently discussed. On folio 228, the file contains a large Admiralty map of the Eastern Persian Gulf.
The majority of the correspondence in the file is between British officials at the Admiralty, Foreign Office, India Office, Persian Gulf Residency and the British Legation in Tehran, but the file contains a small selection of correspondence with the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some of which is in French.
The file includes a divider, which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
