Description

John Duncan first sailed to West Africa in 1841, as master-at-arms aboard HMS Albert, flagship of the Niger steamship expedition. Ravaged by disease, this anti-slavery mission soon turned into a debacle that nearly cost Duncan his life. Undeterred, Duncan returned to West Africa again in 1844, supported by the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), on a solo expedition to find the legendary Kong Mountains.
