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 December 1912 the passenger steamer "Elisabethville" navigated 21 days to Antwerp, its final destination. The ports of call along the journey were Freetown (Sierra Leone), Conakry (Guinée) and Teneriffe (Sp).

Belgian Congo, almost wholly inland, touches the sea on the northern shore of the Congo estuary. The seaport of Banana forms a convenient pilot station for the navigation of the river as far as Boma and Matadi. In November 1908, when Belgium took over the country, Banana was a district headquarter and had over 100 Europeans residents. Most of them were employed at the head offices of a Dutch company. As Boma and Matadi developped, Banana dwindled, and attempts to develop it as a fishing port failed.
