‘Persian Gulf. Registers furnished by the Chief of Lingah to his Vessels trading to Ports in India, securing to them the privileges to which Persian subjects are entitled-’
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence, minutes and resolutions cited in, or enclosed with, a Political Letter from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, 13 November 1847. A copy of this Political Letter can be found at IOR/F/4/2238/112322, alongside details of further enclosures. The item is the thirty-fourth in a series of fifty-nine items on events in the Persian Gulf.
The item relates to the recent declaration by Sheik Saed ben Guzeeb, Sheik of Lingah [Shaikh Sa‘īd bin Qaḍīb, Shaikh of Bandar-e Lengeh], that all vessels from his port which travel to India should be treated as Persian [Iranian] and therefore granted the benefits given to Persian subjects under the current treaties existing between Great Britain and Persia. He states that all vessels from his port will be given a register with his seal as proof of identity.
The item contains the Government of Bombay’s response to this news and their subsequent instructions to Major Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf, and to the Collector of Customs.
The item also contains a copy of the rukum supplied by the Governor of Shiraz to Sheik Saed, dated April 1847, confirming that he should be granted the same privileges as a Persian subject (folios 437-438).
