This chart shows the entirety of the Gulf from Muscat on the Arabian coast and Mukoa on the Iranian, to the Euphrates and land named as ‘Shat Al Arab’ (now Iraq and Iran). The manuscript plots the routes of various voyages that were undertaken by HM Sloop Scorpion along the Persian coast, in January to March 1807; and HMS Hesper, which ventured south the Arabian coast in May - July 1813; and a latter addition to the chart, in red, and clearly of a different hand, of the islands, from Captain Maude’s voyage in March 1817.
