MV Liemba
The MV ''Liemba'', formerly the ''Graf Goetzen'' or ''Graf von Goetzen'', is a passenger and cargo ferry that runs along the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. The Marine Services Company Limited of Tanzania sails her, with numerous stops to pick up and set down passengers, between the ports of Kigoma, Tanzania, and Mpulungu, Zambia. ''Graf von Goetzen'' was built in 1913 in Germany, and was one of three vessels the German Empire used to control Lake Tanganyika during the early part of the First World War. Her captain had her scuttled on 26 July 1916 in Katabe Bay during the German retreat from Kigoma. In 1924, a British Royal Navy salvage team raised her and in 1927 she returned to service as the ''Liemba''. ''Liemba'' is the last vessel of the German Imperial Navy still actively sailing anywhere in the world. ''Liemba'' was the inspiration for the German gunboat ''Luisa'' in C. S. Forester's 1935 novel ''The African Queen'', and John Huston's subsequent film version. Giles Foden retold the story.〔 The ship featured in the 1992 BBC Television travel series ''Pole to Pole'' and Michael Palin stayed in one of her cabins. (Breadbox Productions ) in the US released a feature documentary film on the ship (Liemba ), narrated by Chiwoniso Maraire, in 2010. == History ==
