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.

Rusinga entered service on the lake in 1914 and was a troop ship during the First World War East African Campaign.

[1] After the Armistice she entered civilian service as a Lake Victoria ferry.

In 1966 the East African Railways and Harbours Corporation withdrew her for scrap[4] but she passed into private ownership and in 2005 was still in service.
