Holland America Line
One sheet Ryndam Maasdam
vintage travel poster from the Holland-America Line, advertising their "new twin" sister ships, the SS Ryndam and the SS Maasdam. The poster was created in 1950 by the artist Ad Werner.
Key Information
Ships: The poster promotes the ocean liners Ryndam (built in 1951) and Maasdam (built in 1952). They were nicknamed the "Economy Twins" because they were designed primarily for tourist-class travel with a small first-class section, a new concept at the time.
Route: The ships mainly operated on the North Atlantic route, making frequent voyages between Rotterdam, other channel ports, New York, and Montreal.
Features: They were known for their distinctively slender funnels and were the first Holland America Line ships to allow tourist-class passengers extensive run of the ship.
Artist: The artwork, which features a silhouette of a crowned figure (likely Poseidon) holding a trident behind the ships, was created by Dutch artist Ad Werner.
Historical Context: The ships played a significant role in post-war immigration from Europe to North America.
Today, the Maasdam was eventually sold in 1968 and became the Stefan Batory, while the Ryndam had several name changes before sinking in 2003 on its way to the scrapyard.
