LIEMBA BOAT (The graf von goetzen);
The 1300-ton steamship was one of the earliest users of the Dar es Salaam to kigoma railways. In pieces, the steamship was transported overland early in the20th century, during the First World War, and sent to Kigoma where it was reassembled. Before the maiden voyage, the Graf von Goetzen, was bombed by a Belgian aircraft from the neighboring territory that is now Democratic Republic of Congo. When the German defeat became inevitable, the Graf von Goetzen was sunk in the Lake Tanganyika. In 1924, the British re-floated the ship and renamed it LIEMBA. The ship later featured in the film, The African Queen, starring Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn.

To this day the Liemba continues to ply the lake to Zambia and DRC carrying passengers and cargo.
