Hermann von Wissmann (steamship)

The ''Hermann von Wissmann'' was a German steamer on Lake Nyasa named after the German explorer Hermann von Wissmann who had raised funds for the vessel to be built in 1890 as an anti-slavery gunboat.〔Deutsche kolonialzeitung: Volume 13 Deutscher Kolonialverein - 1896 "..Wißmann" ganz dicht entlang laufen. Ueberall aber auf dem verwitterten Gestein zeigt sich eine reiche Vegetation, ... Dienste des kaiserlichen Gouvernements befindliche Kapitän Berndt ist mit Heimatsurlaub in Deutschland eingetroffen."〕
The attack of the British lake-steamer on the ''Wissmann'' while it was on a slipway at Sphinxhafen, in English Liuli, was the first naval action of World War I. The British disabled the vessel briefly in 1914, then in 1915 completely put the vessel out of action.〔''Warship international'' Volume 17; Volume 17 Naval Records Club (U.S.), International Naval Research Organization, Naval Records Club (U.S.) - 1980 "The Germans made repairs to the ''Von Wissmann'' but ''Gwendolen'' again arrived on the scene on May 30, 1915 when ''Von Wissmann'' was sent to the ... The British also had two other vessels on Lake Nyasa named and ''Queen Victoria''."〕

Although built and controlled by the German Government this vessel, like her sister ship the " Hermann von Wissmann " on Lake Nyasa, ."〕 This smaller vessel was involved in the exploits of Geoffrey Spicer-Simson which were the basis of ''The African Queen'', a 1935 novel by C. S. Forester and the 1951 film of the same name starring Humphrey Bogart.
From 1916-1920 the boat served as , then from 1920 as the cargo steamer ''Mlonda'' until it was scrapped in 1950.
