Tracing of ‘Rough Sketch of proposed buildings at Angaum [Jazīreh-ye Hengām]’
- Scope & Content:
-
The drawing is a tracing of a sketch drawn by Major J Mill Champain, Assistant Director in Chief of the Indo-European Telegraph Company, and dated 23 March 1868. The drawing shows the northern tip of the island of Angaum [Jazīreh-ye Hengām], with the following buildings identified and labelled A to G: [telegraph] office, superintendent’s office, clerk’s office, apothecary, storekeeper, store shed, coal shed. Each building has dimensions indicated for its length and breadth, presumably measured in Persian zers (a zer being equivalent to a cubit), which are also indicated on the drawing’s scale.
The drawing accompanies copies of correspondence related to the establishment of the British telegraph station at Angaum, dated 1868 (ff 133-135).
