Framed Print of The East African Slave Trade: Rovooma River, 1873. Creator: Unknown
The East African Slave Trade: Rovooma River, 1873....we have engraved for the present Number four views of Mozambique and the neighbouring territory, which were obligingly lent us by Sir William Parker...having been drawn by him from slight sketches made on that coast a few years ago by his brother, the late Captain Hyde Parker...Sir William Parker writes: To the north of Cape Delgado, in a bay about midway between Mozambique and Zanzibar, and within the territory claimed by the Imaum of Muscat, is the river Rovooma (spelt on some maps Lovouma). Near its entrance there is good anchorage; and though the left side of the river is full of sandbanks, there is a channel three fathoms deep, close to the right bank. The stream is always very strong, and in the rainy season an immense body of water is discharged. The water at the surface of the bay, as far out as the anchorage, is frequently quite drinkable. The banks of the river are wooded with some very fine trees. A few miles up, the country becomes hilly. The anchorage is resorted to by slavers while waiting for their cargoes, being very convenient from its facilities for wooding and watering. Some coasting slave trade to Zanzibar is also carried on from this place and neighbourhood'. From Illustrated London News, 1873.
