Uganda Journal - Vol 25, p. 43 - CMS Boats in East Africa by H.B. Thomas - Dove - In 1874 the Society sent the Rev. W. Salter Price to East Africa to organize a Freed Slave Settlement, and in the following year he founded Frere Town, near Mombasa. A small steam-launch, the Dove, was presented for his use. It was shipped on the deck of a Government collier bound for Zanzibar; but this had to put, storm-damaged, into Rio de Janeiro and did not proceed to its destination. The Dove was accordingly sold in Rio.
