Bomokandi Bertha

The sinking of the Bertha

**The Bomokandi Bertha** is a boat from the *Jungle Cruise*.

## Description

The Bomokandi Bertha was a 1930s river steamboat.

## History

### Background

The Bomokandi Bertha was a boat used by the Jungle Navigation Company in the 1930s. In 1937, the Bertha sank in what the JNC called its, "First underwater expedition".

### Development history

The Bomokandi Bertha is a Jungle Cruise boat in the Magic Kingdom which was previously used in Tokyo as-well. In Walt Disney World, this boat is one of only two wheelchair accessible vehicles. On February 27, 2020, the boat sank outside of the Congo base camp scene. This submerged many guests up to their waists in water and resulted in an evacuation.

Also in 2020, Tokyo decommissioned their own Bomokandi Bertha. Speculations and jokes also became popular around this time that Disney intentionally sank the faux boat as a promotional stunt for the upcoming *Jungle Cruise* film. When the Jungle Cruise underwent a refurbishment in 2021, the sinking of the Bomokandi Bertha inspired the sinking of the story-relevant Kwango Kate, itself a decommissioned Jungle Cruise boat.

## Appearances

This area features artwork, scenery, animatronic hippos and giraffes mimicking the Jungle Cruise and jungle themed portions of It's a Small World. Within the game's *Haunted Mansion* analogue, "Lonesome Manor", one of the three Stretching Room portraits portrays a Jungle Cruise reminiscent tableau.

A. Falls Expedition

A crate of contents recovered from the expedition

*This article is on the fictional expedition from the Jungle Cruise film. For the expedition from the Jungle Cruise attraction, see Falls Adventureland Expedition.*

The **A. Falls Expedition**, possibly also known as the is **A. Falls Botanical Expedition** is a fictional expedition from the *Jungle Cruise* film.

## History

### Background

#### Beginning

The A. Falls Expedition was lead by British colonist Dr. Albert Falls, a member of the amoral *Royal Anthropological and Diverse Adventures Society* from London, England. The expedition was launched to try and track down the Tears of the Moon, a supernatural tree which could cure any ailment. The date of the expedition is unknown though it is known to have occurred prior to the year 1916.

#### Expedition

Dr. Albert Falls' expedition was unsuccessful though he did recover the *Arrowhead of Lukarina* in the jungle. This arrowhead was a sacred artifact of the Indigenous Puka Michuna tribe which guarded the Tears of the Moon and which was lost in 1556. The Falls expedition had the arrowhead sent back to the society's headquarters in London via transport from Liverpool, England.

#### Aftermath

In 1916, the society planned on selling the arrowhead to Prince Joachim, the son of Kaiser Wilhelm II who intended on using the tree to aid Germany in winning World War I and taking over the globe. In this same year, aspiring member MacGregor Houghton requested access to the arrowhead for his own expedition which was denied out of prejudice for MacGregor and his sister, Lily Houghton. Prior to member Sir James Hobbs-Coddington being able to sell the arrowhead, the artifact was stolen by Lily for her successful expedition in finding the tree.

## Appearances

### Film

The expedition is referenced in this film as how the *Royal Anthropological and Diverse Adventures Society* obtained the Arrowhead of Lukarina.

### Attractions

#### Jungle Cruise

## Trivia

* It is unknown if (but likely that ) the expedition was connected to Frank Wolff, an ally of the Puka Michuna in the expedition's region and who was secretly an immortal conquistador that needed to find the tree to undo his curse. This connection is due to Frank in 1916 having been a member of the Jungle Navigation Company which Dr. Falls founded in 1911 and the Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise referencing them as having known one another.

Captain Rowan D. Falls

Rowan D. Falls and Mélanie Ravenswood

**Captain Rowan D. Falls** is a character from the attraction *Phantom Manor*. He is associated with the attractions *The Mark Twain Riverboat* and *The Jungle Cruise*.

## History

Captain Rowan D. Falls was a sailor during the early half of the 19th century. By around the 1850s, he was captain of *The Mark Twain Riverboat*, a stern-wheel steamboat which might have been run by the *Western River Line* company. This riverboat is best known for having travelled the Mississippi River and through locations such as New Orleans, Louisiana and Jackson's Island, Missouri.

Around the 1850s, Rowan spent time in the mining-town of Thunder Mesa, Arizona along the *Rivers of the Far West*. While here, Rowan courted the young town-belle Mélanie Ravenswood, the daughter of the wealthy town-founder Henry Ravenswood. Prior to 1860, Henry murdered Captain Falls due to the domineering control which he held over Mélanie's life. Henry achieved this by sending Captain Falls off the side of a waterfall in a rowboat.

Captain Rowan D. Falls was laid to rest in a crypt in Thunder Mesa along with three other suitors of Mélanie's that were murdered by Henry. In 1860, a massive earthquake hit the town and collapsed a portion of it into a canyon; killing all within. Rowan's tomb was part of the town which collapsed into what was deemed, "Phantom Canyon" and it is believed that he would inhabit the canyon as an undead spirit for decades to come.

## Jungle Cruise connections

### Jungle Cruise

Captain Rowan D. Falls shares his surname and familial occupation with Dr. Albert Falls, a major character from the Jungle Cruise. Dr. Albert Falls was a riverboat pilot and explorer during the 19th century (his earliest activities having been known in the 1880s) whose relationship with his granddaughter Alberta Falls indicates that captaining riverboats was something of a family business for the clan. Captain Rowan's name also fits into the theme of pun-names present within the Falls family.

## Appearances

### Phantom Manor

A portrait of Rowan appears in the secret chamber of Ravenswood Manor, showing him with Mélanie before changing and showing him going off the side of a waterfall. His crypt later appears within the structure connecting Phantom Canyon to the passages under Ravenswood Manor.

### Thunder Mesa Daily Messenger

Rowan was mentioned within the Thunder Mesa Daily Messenger speaking on Ravenswood Manor's dark history.

## Trivia

* Advertisements for Thunder Mesa's Mark Twain Riverboat are located in Disneyland Paris' Main Street U.S.A., and Disneyland's Frontierland.
* There are certain books by Mark Twain in the library of the *Skipper Canteen*. The *Thunder Mesa Daily Messenger* identified an in-universe Clemens to have worked as an agent for the *Western River Line* company in the 1890s.
