A Sister Ship of the African Queen
A sister ship to the African Queen, moored beneath a highway bridge over the Nile near Aswan in Egypt. How many voyages up and down the river she must have made. Now she lies still in her mooring, under the uncaring canopy of a modern steel and concrete bridge.
She has had a most satisfying existence, and doesn’t want you to feel sorry for her. She waits for that time when someone will free her and take her on new journeys. She wants to be in motion again, like her ever-flowing river.
– with love for the journey.
