A Document Regarding the Preparation of the Pruth River for Navigation, at the Beginning of the XX-th Century

Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of the XX-th century, Pruth river represented, on much of its length, the Eastern border of Romania, separating Romania from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and from Russia. The river was prepared for navigation by the common efforts of the riparian countries which, after 1866, founded an organization named „The Mixed Commission of the Pruth”.In 1901, after exactly 30 years since the moment the Commission had become effective, a technical Commission, consisting of experts appointed by their governments, was constituted and it was charged with the examination of the preparation works accomplished until that date and of their results. Moreover, the technical Commission was supposed to issue the future plans in this respect.On July 21-st/August 3-rd, 1901, in Bucharest, the technical Commission, having the engineer Anghel Saligny as the representative of Romania, issued a protocol evaluating the works performed under the coordination of the Mixed Commission of the Pruth. The article includes, as an Annex, this remarkable document which is worth of the attention of the researchers.
