| Meer info | Account of the ill-fated British Niger Expedition in 1841 with three vessels, the steamers Albert, Wilberforce, and Soudan. Its purpose was to make treaties with the native peoples against slavery, introduce Christianity and promote increased trade. Of the 150 Europeans on the expedition, 42 died quickly. There were 130 fever cases. Members who were of African descent suffered no deaths from illness. With such high mortality, the naval commanders called the expedition off, and withdrew to the island of Fernando Po. |
