▪ Dutch explorer
born October 17, 1835, The Hague, Netherlands
died August 1, 1869, near Ghāt, Libya
Dutch explorer best known for her investigations of the course of the
Nile River, made at a time when it was unusual for European women to travel in tropical Africa.
Tinné was primarily concerned with mapping the White Nile (
White Nile River) (in the
Sudan) and its western tributaries. In 1861, on her first expedition up the Nile (on which she was accompanied by her mother and aunt), she traveled as far as Gondokoro (in the
Sudan) and then turned west along the Baḥr al-Ghazāl (Gazelle River) and the
Sobat River to investigate the extent of the Nile basin toward Lake Chad. In 1863 she again explored the upper Nile, traveling into the Zande region of the northeastern Congo River basin. She was murdered by Tuareg tribesmen in the Libyan Desert while traveling from Tripoli in an attempt to reach Lake Chad and then journey from it eastward to the Nile.
