Chesney had persuaded the British government to allow him to survey the long stretch of the river Euphrates from the Anatolian mountains to the Persian Gulf. In 1835 Chesney was put in charge of the expedition and carefully selected his associates, about fifty people in total, including Hastings Fitz-Edward Murphy. Two iron-hulled steamboats, the Euphrates and the Tigris, were chosen for the voyage. The objectives of the expedition were to set up a new trade route between Britain and India (which would avoid the lengthy voyage around the South African Cape of Good Hope) and to prevent Russian expansion in the Near East, as some considered this a threat to Britain's control of India.
