Catalogue Note
Surveys of Bahrain Harbour were made by the Royal Navy schooner Constance, in 1872-1874, by the Royal Indian Marine ship Investigator, 1901-1902, and by HMS Redbreast in 1904-1905; these surveys were used in the creation of this chart (numbered 3540), apparently published in only a single edition, in 1905.
