1911 11 Aug 191-	The beginning of `Abdu'l-Bahá's first Western tour [AB139] `Abdu'l-Bahá departed from Egypt with a party of four on the S. S. Corsica for Marseilles, Thonon-les-Bains and London. [AB139; GPB280; SBR22, SoW Vol 2 no.10 8 September, 1911 p7] Subsequent research has shown that the ship was not the S.S. Corsica as stated in GPB280 but rather the L'Orenoque. See 'Abdu'l-Bahá in Paris page 6 note 47. See BW1:130 for a list of cities He visited between 1911 and 1913. It is believed that funds for 'Abdu'l-Bahá's teaching journeys to the West were provided by an oil-rich believer in Baku, Áqa Músá Naqiof (alternate spelling Musa Naghiyev)(yet another alternate spelling Báqirof) (1849-1919). [AY11; ABF295note684] For more on Musa Naghiyev see Wikipedia and The Baha'is of the Caucasus: From Russian Tolerance to Soviet Repression {2/3}.	`Abdu'l-Bahá, Travels of; `Abdu'l-Bahá, First Western tour; * `Abdu'l-Bahá (chronology); `Abdu'l-Bahá in Egypt; * `Abdu'l-Bahá, Basic timeline; S.
