Transfer here for Schweitzer Falls...

The Jungle Navigation Co. now serves the Adventureland Dock. Good thing they have agents in Zanzibar and Calcutta - in case you miss the connection to Schweitzer Falls you can always give them a ring for help. The sign also fits with the ride's ties to the African Queen. The movie was set in 1914, so with the Jungle Navigation Co. dating from 1911 and with the home office in London (the African Queen was piloted by Humphrey Bogart playing a Canadian, still in the British Empire in 1914, and joined by Katharine Hepburn's British character) more than just the boats fit with the movie that helped inspire part of the ride...
