HISTORY:



SS Nieuw Amsterdam was a ship built in Belfast by Harland and Wolff. It was launched in 1905 and on April 7, 1906, made its first voyage to New York from Rotterdam.^[1]




The Nieuw Amsterdam was fitted with sails, but they were never deployed; it was the first quadruple expansion powered ship of the Holland America Line. In 1914, the ship brought almost 1,700 United States citizens back to the states from Europe at the outbreak of World War I.
It was not used again until 1917 when it took 2,300 Dutch seamen from
the United States back to Holland. The ship was renovated in 1918 and
overhauled in 1925 to a "cabin/tourist configuration". It became the
first ship to bring immigrants to the large new Canadian immigration
terminal Pier 21 at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on March 28, 1928, and made 31 voyages to Pier 21 with Dutch immigrants before its retirement.^[2] The last transatlantic passenger trip was made from Rotterdam on October 2, 1931, for New York. Nieuw Amsterdam arrived in Japan in February 1932 where it was scrapped.^[1] The ship's name inspired two successors, the SS Nieuw Amsterdam (II) in 1937 and the cruise ship MS Nieuw Amsterdam in 2010.
