SS ''Robert Coryndon'' was a British passenger and cargo ferry on Lake Albert in central Africa. == History == John I. Thornycroft & Company at Woolston, Hampshire built her for Kenya and Uganda Railways and Harbours in 1930. She was named after the South African Sir Robert Coryndon, who was Governor of Uganda 1918–22. She was part of a plan for a network of railway, river steamer and lake steamer services linking British interests in Egypt, East Africa and southern Africa. Sir Winston Churchill described the ship as ''"the best library afloat"'' and Ernest Hemingway called her ''"magnificence on water"''.〔 ''Robert Coryndon'' sank in 1962, around the time of Ugandan independence from Britain.
