Framed Print of Loading the Warree, at Woolwich, with stores for the Ashantee War, 1873. Creator: Unknown
Loading the Warree, at Woolwich, [on the Thames in London], with stores for the Ashantee War, 1873. Equipment and supplies for the British Army fighting in West Africa. The screw steam-ship Warree, carrying large quantities of ammunition, with carcasses or fireballs to set fire to native villages or stockades, has already started. She was last week lying alongside the T pier at Woolwich, embarking her cargo. The Warree, which is named after a tributary creek of the Niger river, is a new vessel of about 300 tons burden, built in the Tyne by Dudgeon and Co. for the British and African Steam Navigation Company, of Glasgow, and this is her first voyage. She is commanded by Captain Bowmaker, who expects to make the voyage to the Gold Coast in nineteen days, including a stoppage at Madeira for coal. The time allowed by the Government for the voyage is twenty-four days. She will not stop at Elmina or Cape Coast Castle, but proceed up the Volta to a landing-place more convenient for approach to the Ashantee capital, Coomassie. The decks are covered with an awning of deals and canvas from stem to stern as a protection against the painful rays of the tropical sun'. From Illustrated London News, 1873.
