The Fleets
Nederlandsch-Amerikaansche Stoomvaart Maatschappij
/ Holland America Line
 The Nederlandsch-Amerikaansche Stoomvaart Maatschappij Company was founded
1871 as Plate, Reuchlin & Company in Rotterdam. In April, 1873 the
Holland America Line was formed. After about 1970, the company's passenger
ships were used for cruising.
Many thanks to Ted Finch for his assistance in collecting this
