It is also the town from which Livingstone started his travels in Africa. He estimated that for every one slave that made it to Bagamoyo, 10 died on the 3 month trek from the area around Lake Tangayika. It's like a ghost town ... with 30,000 inhabitants. The Germans lost it to the British in WWI but even before that, the German administration moved to Dar es Salaam and the town was abondoned by them. http://www.leica-gallery.net/dlridings/folder-5305.html The color ones are new.
