SS MALAGARASI-MUYOVOZI

<Portuguese Mozmbique This puzzle is a trip into the Heart of Darkness.

No, it is not connected to lake Tanganjika ("African Queen" has it all wrong) .. so not the Malagarasi river. Think of another RAMSAR site..

Aktungbby · 04-18-21, 03:59 PM

Does the river drain into the indian ocean?

Catfish · 04-18-21, 04:12 PM

Not directly, first it flows into the Rufiji.
The river and a nearby one are filled to the brim with hippopotamuses (try to type that into an Enigma - alos in german the a$$ is called a Popo)

Aktungbby · 04-18-21, 04:18 PM

SS Groß Ruaha?

That's hippopotamii

Catfish · 04-18-21, 04:27 PM

Nope!

Aktungbby · 04-18-21, 04:40 PM

the Ullanga?

Catfish · 04-19-21, 01:42 AM

Yesss!

The »Ulanga« it is ! Built in 1897. Last sighted on the Rufiji river in 1917, its whereabouts are (is?) unknown.

Named after the Ulanga river (also called the Kilombero) further inland that flows into the Rufiji, coming from the rift valley NW of the Mahenge high plateau, being the only one to be suited for (flat-going) ships, as found out by expeditions from explorers Peters, Prittwitz and others.
(In the film "African Queen", the Ulanga river flows into the Bora, and from there to a "great lake" that was supposed to be the Tanganjika, but not in reality.)

The »Ulanga« was one of five almost equal stern wheelers built by the Meyer Werft in Papenburg (where the »Graf Goetzen« was also built). All were built for the african colonies, at least one of them (the »Soden«) was shipped to Cameroon.

The paddlewheelers consisted basically of 6 pontoons bolted together, and were shipped to the colonies in half (2x3 pontoons), on deck of the Woermann- or DOA-line or Hapag steamers.
They had a length of 26,7 meters (36,55 overall with the wheels) and a width of 6,75 meters.
They had a draft of 60 centimeters and two paddle wheels at the stern, being driven by a crank between them, which again was driven by a 120 hp double-expansion steam engine.

They could also be transported by train and dragged across land. Stern wheelers had the advantage of not being prone to damaging their wheels with snags or Hippopotamii (while Hippopotamuses is also correct!), also they could easily be refloated when running aground, by reversing the tail wheel's direction of turning, thus pumping water under the beached section of the bow and dragging them off the banks.

Hope the photos are visible:

Both stern wheels can be seen on the pictured models.

OT here:
the etching of the belgian ship posted here by Aktung (thanks!) off Mozambique is probably a Cockerill-built steamer for the Congo river. Belgium and especially its king Leopold ran the belgian colonies as his private business in Africa, exploiting the resources with methods depicted in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", while killing the assumed number of 40. million. natives. in the process.
They were also the first to attack civilian german settlements at the Tanganjika lake coast, which was how some of the settlers even heard that there was a "war" going on somewhere else in the world.

Over to Aktungbby ! you really deserved it

Actually once I asked if it was Heckraddampfer, thus getting on the scent, it was simply hunting by RAMSAR with two river zones to narrow the gap

What's this munition?

d@rk51d3 · 04-19-21, 04:10 AM

Looks tasty.

Catfish · 04-19-21, 05:33 AM

Looks like bitter-sweet civil war fruits, maybe a bit hard to bite..

So a very special spherical grain, pressed from a powderlike substance ?
