Jamieson, Robert (1791/2-1861), merchant, traded to Africa, South America, India, and China from the City of London between 1836 and 1861. He sought to open up West African rivers to navigation and commerce, particularly in palm oil. His schooner, the Warree, went to the Niger in 1838. In 1839 he built and equipped the steamer Ethiope, which, under the command of John Beecroft, explored several West African rivers, including the Fermoso and tributaries of the Niger. When the Melbourne ministry resolved to send the African Colonization Expedition to the Niger, Jamieson denounced the scheme in two Appeals (1840 and 1841). The expedition broke up, through disease and disaster in September 1841, and on 25 October most of the surviving colonists and their ship, the Albert, were rescued by the Ethiope.
    “I deem it my duty, before the actual departure of the three Government steam-vessels now finishing their equipment for Africa, to communicate to your lordship intelligence which I have received from that coast,...”
