| February 1872 | The Royal Geographical Society, still unaware that the American journalist Henry Morton Stanley had already 'found' the reportedly lost explorer David Livingstone, organised a Search and Relief Expedition, led by Dawson. Two months later, the expedition arrived in Zanzibar, where their ship was caught in the hurricane of 15 April. A few weeks later Stanley arrived at Bagamoyo, where he met Dawson and told him that Livingstone was safe and would be arriving after a few more months, whereupon Dawson cancelled the Search and Relief Expedition and returned to London. | ||
