Kurrachee Harbour. Second Report of J. Walker: And Report of the Survey of 1857-8, by W. Parkes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781144144416)

This volume comprises two reports concerning the development of Kurrachee (Karachi) Harbour in British India. The first is the "Second Report of J. Walker," likely detailing earlier stages of planning or construction. The second is the "Report of the Survey of 1857-8, by W. Parkes," which offers a more contemporary assessment of the harbor's state and potential.

These documents provide valuable insight into the engineering challenges and logistical considerations involved in establishing and improving a major port facility during the 19th century. They shed light on British engineering practices in India and the strategic importance of Karachi as a maritime hub. Scholars of maritime history, engineering, and British colonial history in India will find this volume a useful resource.
