- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence regarding a period of tensions and hostilities that took place between the rulers of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Shaikh Saʻīd bin Maktūm bin Hasher Āl Maktūm and Shaikh Shakhbūṭ bin Sulṭān Āl Nahyān respectively.
The correspondence discusses the reasons behind this conflict including the disputed ownership of Ghanadhah [Khor al-Ghanadhah], as well as other incidents of aggression committed including the looting of camels.
Most of the correspondence in the file is between British officials at the Political Agency in Bahrain, the Political Residency in Bushire and the Residency Agent in Sharjah. However, the file also contains correspondence with local rulers, primarily Shaikh Saʻīd and Shaikh Shakhbūṭ. This correspondence is in Arabic accompanied by English translations.
On folios 232-233, the file contains a chart with details of the boundary between the two Shaikhdoms and the respective claims made by the rulers of each.
