The Falkland Islands: Stanley Harbour, Port William, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Falkland Islands: Stanley Harbour, Port William, 1856. The port of Stanley is entirely free for ships of all nations. No Custom dues are levied, and, from the facility of entrance, pilotage is optional; nor are any anchorage or port charges whatsoever exacted. Supplies of all kinds, with the means of refitting damaged vessels, are readily procurable, and at much more reasonable prices than in the South American ports. The principal value of these islands to Great Britain consists in their geographical position, forming the only half-way touching port, or port of refuge for the whole of the outward-bound trade to the Pacific and the west coasts of the Americas, and in the direct homeward track of the Australian and New Zealand commerce'. The sovereignty status of the Islas Malvinas or Falkland Islands, is part of an ongoing dispute between Argentina and the UK.
