ROTTERDAM: 1908 - Pre-maiden voyage 1st & 2nd class deck plan

Product Description

Holland America Line: A fold-out (23" by 35") tissue deck plan for HAL's early 20th century flagship, the ROTTERDAM (IV).

The plan is dated February 1908, a month before the ship's launch and four months before her maiden voyage.

Six decks are shown covering First and Second classes. Each class held 500+ while unseen are the 2,500 packed down in steerage.

The ship was the first transatlantic liner to have a glass-in Promenade Deck, an innovation that soon became the norm. The ROTTERDAM held several public rooms in separate islands up on Sun and Promenade decks, including a two story First Class Smoking Room. Next to the library was a Marconi Room with attached instrument and "silent" rooms. Quiet was apparently a HAL concern as even the library had a separate "Typewriter" room with a closing door.

There are two sections with elegant looking suites but the rest of the cabins, First and Second, are rhythmic blocks looking much like the standardized lay-outs of modern cruise ships minus the baths and mini-bar. There is also a small passenger elevator, one of the earliest installed in a ship.

The ROTTERDAM oozed Edwardian elegance and was a steady money-maker for Holland America for decades. In the 1930s she was used for long cruises. With war looming, she was finally sent to the breakers in 1940.

Good condition.
