A band plays at the launch of the RMS Victoria in Kisumu in 1961. She was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders at Scotstoun, Glasgow. She was then disassembled and exported to Mombasa in 1,500 crates and reassembled at Kisumu in 1961, a task led by EAR&H Chief Engineer, Christopher Hannington Jobita. When the ship was commissioned, Elizabeth II granted her the Royal Mail Ship (RMS) designation, the only EAR&H ship to receive this distinction. In 1977, when EAR&H was split between the three East African countries, RMS Victoria was transferred to Tanzania, and is now known as the MV Victoria.

juzi was surprised to see kids stoning the train to the SGR terminus at Makadara. The adults working a few meters from the kids were not bothered at all.

Photo definitely taken from Stanley’s 1902 Lounge. Very exclusive!
