Inland Ferries
Also in 1961 EARH introduced the new Lake Victoria ferry RMS Victoria. This faster vessel doubled the speed of the circular service around the lake, allowing EARH to increase sailings from once to twice a week. Elizabeth II designated her a Royal Mail Ship: the only EARH ship to receive this distinction.
In 1965 and 1966 EARH introduced a train ferry service across Lake Victoria with the MV Umoja and MV Uhuru. In 1967 EARH made harbour improvements at Kisumu on the Kenyan shore of Lake Victoria by scuttling the disused ferry SS Winifred to form a breakwater.

Famous quotes containing the word inland:
“Again the guns disturbed the hour,
Roaring their readiness to avenge,
As far inland a Stourton Tower,
And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
