  • The Hedwig von Wissmann was a German steamboat on Lake Tanganyika, which became a feature in the story behind the film The African Queen. She was sister vessel to the larger Hermann von Wissmann on Lake Nyasa, and like that vessel originally used as a gunboat against slavers. Hedwig von Wissmann was the wife of the German explorer and colonial administrator Hermann von Wissmann who had raised funds for both boats. On 12 August 1914 she was drafted for guard service on Lake Tanganyika. She was sunk by an Anglo-Belgian flotilla of small boats under Geoffrey Spicer-Simson in on 9 February 1916 at 11h50 in the Battle for Lake Tanganyika including HMS Fifi and HMS Mimi. German casualties were engineer and two African stokers killed in the engine room; a warrant officer and some African crew members killed and a European stoker and an African seaman slightly wounded when two of the ships boats were hit by shells. Twelve Europeans, including the captain Job Odebrecht, and eight Africans were captured by the British. (en)
  • SMS Hedwig von Wissmann var en tysk postångare på Tanganyikasjön, systerfartyg till den större SMS Hermann von Wissmann på Nyasasjön, och i likhet med detta fartyg från början ursprungligen använd som kanonfartyg mot slavhandlare. Hedwig von Wissmann var namngiven efter hustrun till den tyska upptäcktsresanden och kolonialadministratören Hermann von Wissmann, vilken hade arrangerat finansieringen av bägge båtarna. Hedwig von Wissmann byggdes av Janssen & Schmilinsky i Hamburg 1897 och monterades och sjösatte 1900 i Tanganyikasjön. Den 12 augusti 1914 togs hon över av den kejserliga tyska marinen för att bli patrullbåt. (sv)
