- Title:
- ‘Proceedings regarding Captain Cogan of the Indian Navy being permitted to navigate the Ship Liverpool which His Highness the Imaum of Muscat intends to present to the King of England. – and the measures adopted for securing to her native crew their return to India.’
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence, minutes and resolutions cited in, or enclosed with, letters from the Government of Bombay [Mumbai], Captain Robert Cogan of the Indian Navy, and the Court of Directors of the East India Company.
The item relates to whether the Government of Bombay should allow Cogan to transport the Imaum [Imam] of Muscat’s ship, the Liverpool, to London, as the Imaum wishes to gift the ship to the King of England [King of the United Kingdom]. The issue of who will pay for the return of the ‘native’ crew members to India is also discussed.
In addition, the item refers to the previous refusal to transport the ship by Captain Hart of HM Naval Forces in India, for diplomatic reasons concerning a treaty between the Imaum of Muscat and the United States of America. The communication between Hart and the Imaum is criticised by the Secret Committee of the East India Company and the Commissioners for the Affairs of India, who emphasise that communication with ‘states’ such as Muscat should only be undertaken through the Governor-General of India.
Other principal correspondents include: Lord William Cavendish Bentinck, Governor-General of India; Vice-Admiral Sir John Gore, Commander in Chief of HM Naval Forces in India; and Captain Sir Charles Malcolm, Superintendent of the Indian Navy.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Coll[ection] No. 13’, ‘P.C. [Previous Communication] 1721, Draft 266, 1836’, ‘Collection N. 1 of N. 29’, ‘Bombay Political Department’.
