Ship SS Rotterdam in the port of Rotterdam. Captured in a triptych.
The Rotterdam from 1959 is the fifth ship with that name, in service of the Holland-America Line (HAL). It is a steamship with oil-fired boilers and steam turbines.
It is one of the most famous post-war Dutch passenger ships. It experienced the last decade of transatlantic liner shipping between 1959 and the end of 2000 and was subsequently a successful cruise ship. Since 4 August 2008, the ship is located as a floating attraction (guided tours, hotel-café-restaurant) at the Third Katendrecht Head in the Maashaven in Rotterdam.
