The 1959 SS Rotterdam is the fifth ship of that name in service with the Holland-America Line (HAL). It is a steamship with oil-fired boilers and steam turbines.
It is one of the best-known post-war Dutch passenger ships. It went through the last decade of transatlantic liner shipping between 1959 and the end of 2000 and was then a successful cruise ship. Since 4 August 2008, the ship has been located as a floating attraction (tours, hotel-café-restaurant) at the Derde Katendrechtse Hoofd in Rotterdam's Maashaven.
For many (former) Rotterdammers, the SS Rotterdam is the symbol of the port city and in this night photograph, the "Grand Dame" comes into its own.
