(HOLLAND-AMERICA LINE.) "Nieuw Amsterdam" (II). Group of approximately 35 pieces related to the ship before World War II, including a nice selection of decks plans, brochures, vintage photographs (construction and when completed), and 2 copies of the large brochure issued by the company to celebrate her inauguration into service. 1937-40
The "Nieuw Amsterdam" had a very short career as a passenger liner before the war, though she had a long and distinguished career after the cessation of hostilities. She had made only 18 trans-Atlantic crossings and was on her third Caribbean cruise when the Germans invaded the Netherlands. Commodore Johannes J. Bijl, sailed the ship to New York where he discharged the ship's passengers and then took her to Halifax to be fitted out for war service. She did not return to her native country until after the war (1946). She resumed passenger service in 1947. She was scrapped in 1974.
