Basra is abt 100km up the Tigris-Euphrates from the head of the Persian Gulf. I would imagine one went there by boat, probably changing in Bombay or even Aden.

Ship I should think :)

If you give more details about the person concerned may be we could make more suggestions.

How would someone travel To Bussorah (Basra) in Iraq during the 1850s?

Do you think that there are any records?

Thanks,
