A Sectional Boat used by Sir Henry Morton Stanley in Africa
Engraving of a sectional boat, used by Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) during his 1874 expedition to central Africa, being carried by a number of local porters. During this expedition Stanley charted Lake Tanganika, passed down the Lualaba to Nyangwe and traced the Congo to the sea. Sectional boats, such as the one depicted, were useful in this kind of exploration as, when a waterway became impassable, the boat could be easily dismantled and carried to the next part of navigable waterway

EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving depicts a sectional boat, a crucial tool in Sir Henry Morton Stanley's 1874 expedition to central Africa. Stanley, a renowned British explorer, is best known for his role in locating the missing explorer David Livingstone and his famous phrase, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" During this expedition, Stanley charted Lake Tanganyika, passed down the Lualaba River to Nyangwe, and traced the Congo River to the sea. Sectional boats, such as the one shown, were invaluable for exploration in Africa due to their ability to be easily dismantled and carried when a waterway became impassable. The boat could then be reassembled at the next navigable waterway, allowing for continued exploration. In this image, local porters carry the sectional boat through the African terrain, highlighting the collaborative nature of these expeditions. Stanley's exploration of central Africa in 1874 was a significant milestone in the history of African exploration, and this sectional boat played a crucial role in his journey."
