Scope and Contents:

Handwritten texts on verso contact print reads, "Vol I, 1909. The Brusselville in the harbour of Teneriffe."

Judge E. Gorlia's first journey in the Belgian Congo from December 1909 to January 1912.

In 1909 the "Compagnie Belge Maritime du Congo" one of the five shipping lines running between Europe and the Congo had three passenger steamers, the "Léopoldville", the "Elisabethville" and the "Bruxellesville", ensuring a service every three weeks between Antwerp (Belgium) and Matadi (formerly Belgian Congo). They were closely linked with Elder Dempster & Co. Ltd, agents of the British and African Steam Navigation Co. and took the old E.D. ships; e.g. the first "Bruxellesville" was originally the "Zungeru."

In 1908, a Belgian, Captain Van Rooy, became master of a later "Bruxellesville". Until then the Belgian steamers had almost always had British captains, and there were British engineers on the "ville" boats until 1916. In December 1909 the passenger steamer "Bruxellesville" navigated 21 days to Matadi, its final destination. The ports of call along the journey were La Pallice (Fra.), Teneriffe (Sp), Dakar (Sen.), Freetown (Sierra Leone) and Boma (formerly Belgian Congo).

After 7 days of navigation, the "Bruxellesville" called a few hours in the harbour of Santa Cruz de Teneriffe. Teneriffe is the administrative center of the Spanish province of the Canary Islands.

Judge E. Gorlia's first journey in the Belgian Congo from December 1909 to January 1912.

River steamers from Léopoldville range over a few thousand miles of inland waters. A type of stern-wheeler has been developed on the Congo which is eminently suited to the conditions encountered on the river.

In 1898 the Congo Free State extended the navigation between Leopoldville and Stanleyville by launching 3 150T stern-wheelers, the "Brabant", the "Flandre" and the "Hainaut".

Judge E. Gorlia's first journey in the Belgian Congo from December 1909 to January 1912.

The earliest attempts at stock-raising in the Congo were made by the missionaries, the White Fathers, who had settlements at Baudouinville and Albertville. Their first experiments were unsuccesful, but by 1920 they had a flourishing herd of 150 head of cattle.

Albertville was established in 1901 as a fortified camp. In 1926 it is the chief port on the western shore of Lake Tanganyika and is the administrative center of the district of tanganyika in Elisabethville province. The town is built on a hill-side and the port, constructed during WWI, is the terminus of the CFGL company that controls rail, river and lake traffic in the region.

The earliest attempts at stock-raising in the Congo were made by the missionaries, the White Fathers, who had settlements at Baudouinville and Albertville. Their first experiments were unsuccesful, but by 1920 they had a flourishing herd of 150 head of cattle.

Albertville was established in 1901 as a fortified camp. In 1926 it is the chief port on the western shore of Lake Tanganyika and is the administrative center of the district of tanganyika in Elisabethville province. The town is built on a hill-side and the port, constructed during WWI, is the terminus of the CFGL company that controls rail, river and lake traffic in the region.
