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.

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 ther harbour of Santa Cruz de Teneriffe. Teneriffe is the administrative center of the Spanish province of the Canary Islands.
