SS Rusinga
SS Rusinga is a cargo and passenger Lake Victoria ferry in East Africa. Bow, McLachlan and Company of Paisley in Renfrewshire, Scotland built her and her sister ship SS Usoga for the Uganda Railway in 1913. They were "knock down" vessels; that is, they were bolted together in the shipyard at Paisley, all the parts marked with numbers, disassembled into many hundreds of parts and transported in kit form by sea to Kenya for reassembly. On 30 September 1927 Rusinga was damaged by fire. She was subsequently repaired and returned to service.
