Sketch of the Conflict Group, 1899

 Sub-Fonds
Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/RCMS 278/58

Scope and Contents

A pen and ink sketch, 8'' x 13'', of a chart of the Conflict Group of Islands at the eastern end of New Guinea, lat. 10°40S, Long. 151°10E, signed 'E. Boosé'. A chart of the Islands by H.A. Wickham was sent to James Boosé, Librarian of the Royal Colonial Institute, in November 1899, asking him to forward it to the Admiralty. This is presumably a copy of that chart. It is accompanied by the letter from Wickham that was sent with the original map.
