Zaire Library Ship

Zaire Ship, or Zaire Library Ship, is a currently stationary vessel located in Lobito Bay, in Lobito, Benguela province, in Angola.[1][2]

History

It was on this ship that, on 7 November 1961, the former President of the Republic of Angola, José Eduardo dos Santos, left Luanda[3] for exile in the Republic of the Congo, where at the time he coordinated the activities of the Youth of the People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola.[4] It is now stationary and has been turned into a library and historic monument, and is thus a tourist attraction.[1][2]
