MV Chauncy Maples is a motor ship and former steamship that was launched in 1901 as SS Chauncy Maples. She spent her entire career on Lake Malawi (formerly more widely known as Lake Nyasa) and was regarded as the oldest ship afloat in Africa. After more than one hundred years' service it was intended to restore her for use as a floating medical clinic to support the several million lakeshore dwellers whose average life expectancy is 44 years. The Government of Malawi offered support for this in 2009 and charity fundraising was sufficient to make progress. The hull was found to be beyond repair at a viable cost so a more practical modern craft was proposed to give ambulance service around the lake.

Il a servi durant de cent années, initialement en tant que clinique médicale flottante. de service. Il était prévu de le restaurer pour en prolonger l'utilisation. Le gouvernement du Malawi a offert son soutien pour ce projet en 2009, et la collecte de fonds caritatifs a été suffisante pour démarrer les travaux. Toutefois, la coque s'est avérée irréparable à un coût viable, de sorte qu'un engin moderne plus pratique a été proposé en remplacement. (fr)
