Abstract:An account of Egyptian steamboat stations along the navigable section of the Albert Nile between Lado and Magungo, including those on Lake Albert, during the Emin Pasha governorship in Equatoria Province, Sudan, between 1878 and 1889, based on information gathered during fact-finding missions as well as second-hand accounts. An effort is also made to try and locate the station known as Bora, which lies between Dufile and Wadelia. The article further provides information regarding the current situation of the steamboat stations and some sunken steamers along the Somerset Nile, Lake Albert and the Albert Nile.
