This item is a collection to Bombay Political Despatch No. 46 of 15 December 1859, from the Secretary of State for India to the Government of Bombay Political Department (the Political Despatch itself is not included in this item). The collection consists of papers forwarded with the Government of Bombay’s Political Despatch No. 44 of 25 April 1859 to the Secretary of State for India, on the subject of the potential establishment of a steam boat service between Bombay [Mumbai] and Bushire [Bushehr].
Topics particularly discussed are: how frequent the service should be; whether it should be provided by vessels of the Indian Navy or contracted to a private company; and whether it should also call at Kurrachee [Karachi].
The collection was compiled for information purposes for the Secretary of State for India to compose the answering Political Despatch.
The enclosed papers consist of copies of correspondence and a memorandum from the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Navy giving the details and requirements of the route and listing the current sea-going steam vessels within the Navy. The correspondents are the Commander-in-Chief, the Government of Bombay, and the Secretary of State for India.
