The African Queen?
I just found the story of the MV Liembs AKA Graf Goetzen on the BBC website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14677418. Enjoy!

"Concrete commitment" is an unfortunate term as probably most of the holes are plugged with. If they build a new one maybe they should use the old engine with new wood -ah biofueled boilers. The african engineers can handle that well enough.
