In 1882, the first Polish research expedition to Africa took place. It was headed by Stefan Szolc-Rogoziński, who as a member of the Paris Geographical Society developed plans for a trip deep into Cameroon, raised funds (helped by m.in. Henryk Sienkiewicz and Bolesław Prussia), for which he bought the ship "Lucja Małgorzata". Together with the traveler, two of his friends boarded the sailing ship: geologist Klemens Tomczek and ethnographer Leopold Janikowski. Along the way, they visited Madeira, the Canary Islands and Liberia. They spent more than a year in Ambas Bay. "Not only did they study the peoples and their customs, but they did something much more important. Well, they befriended the locals so much that the chiefs invited them to tribal councils, to participate in witch ceremonies, and finally offered their wives – says Dariusz Skonieczko, one of the curators of the exhibition "African expeditions, Asian roads".
