The SS Chauncy Maples was named after Bishop Chauncy Maples, an Oxford graduate who founded the UMCA Mission on Likoma Island at Lake Nyasa, Malawi. Bishop Maples later drowned at the lake while crossing in one of the local boats. The clasic steamer was built in England during the late 1890’s and taken to Lake Nyasa where she served as missionary steamer to troop carrier, naval gunboat and fishing trawler to passenger and cargo vessel. She was fitted out with a Fiat engine in later years. The MV Chauncy Maples is not operational anymore and part of the Malawian Government’s national tressure. It can still be seen at Monkey Bay’s port, Malawi Lake Services, who has a 20 year lease agreement on her. | Service - Early 1900's
