Summary

Description
English: Boat assembly, Congo, ca. 1912-1915
Black and white lantern slide showing a partially built ship sitting on the land on wooden tracks, in the process of being assembled, in colonial Belgian Congo (present day Democratic Republic of the Congo).
  • A European missionary (possibly Edward Algernon Ruskin) sits on the stern of the boat, surrounded by Congolese labourers. Another European missionary stands on deck, and labourers stand on the ground below the ship, where construction equipment and parts are scattered.
  • The boat has two levels, so is possibly the S.S Livingstone, a boat built and teasted in Ireland and presumably shipped to the Congo in parts. The S.S Livingstone was to be a passenger ferry, travelling along the Congo River between Kinshasa (formerly Leopoldville) and Brazzaville.
  • This slide comes from a collection generated by missionaries working for the Congo Balolo Mission, a mission begun in 1889 under the supervision of the East London Training Institute for Home and Foreign Missions that developed into the interdenominational evangelical mission Regions Beyond Missionary Union after 1900.
