TAHUN/ YEAR: 1841

KARTOGRAFI/ CARTOGRAPHY: John Walker, East India Company, London

Selepas 1824, perdagangan maritim antara China dan India berkembang mendadak, sebahagiannya disebabkan oleh kemunculan enjin wap untuk berlayar. Menjelang 1833, monopoli Syarikat Hindia Timur ke atas perdagangan China telah tamat, meliberalisasikan perdagangan swasta. 1841 menyaksikan berakhirnya Perang Candu Pertama, yang meliberalisasikan lagi perdagangan dengan membuka pelbagai pelabuhan pantai China, termasuk Hong Kong. Peta ini mencakupi seluruh empayar Johor-Pahang-Riau-Lingga, yang berasaskan darat dan lautan maritim, yang kemudiannya dipecahkan akibat Perjanjian Inggeris-Belanda pada 1824.

Post-1824, maritime trade between China and India grew astronomically, due in part to the advent of the steam engine for sailing. By 1833, the East India Company’s monopoly on the China trade had expired, liberalizing private trade. 1841 saw the end of the First Opium War, which further liberalized trade by opening up various Chinese coastal ports, including Hong Kong. This map covers the entire Johor-Pahang-Riau-Lingga empire, which was both land-based and maritime-connected, and which was broken apart as a result of the Anglo-Dutch Treaty in 1824.
