The surveys which led to the production of this, and two other charts in the same series (see A702a & A702c) were the primary work of surveyors working for the Honorable East India Company Marine Service, which was known as the ‘Bombay Marine’. The surveyors in question were Lieutenants J. M. Guy and G. B. Brooks. The overall survey was compiled between 1821 and 1825. This central sheet was produced shortly after 1824, and as a direct result of a period of great unrest in the Gulf region - especially through the Straits of Hormuz and along the Arabian Peninsula, which now forms Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The chart itself was published in 1826.
