SUMMARY:CARNIVAL RADIANCE 4-Nt Cruise From Long Beach\, CA\, Plus QUEEN MARY Pre-Cruise Activities
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nDuring the weekend of November 8-10\, 2024\, 17 PONY Branch members joined the Steamship Historical Society of America for their annual meeting\, this year held at the QUEEN MARY Hotel in Long Beach\, CA. In addition to exploring the fabled ocean liner\, attendees had the opportunity to view the ocean liner memorabilia collection of Dr. Nelson Arnstein at his home in Long Beach\, attend presentations on the SS ROTTERDAM (V) and the SSHSA archives and collections\, and attend a cocktail reception and gala dinner on Saturday evening featuring a presentation by Peter Knego on Maritime Modernism Afloat. On Sunday\, attendees were welcomed by Peter at his home in Oceanside for lunch and a tour of his extensive museum-quality collection of mid-century ocean liner furnishings and artwork\, acquired during numerous trips to ship breakers around the world. \nOn Monday\, 41 SSHSA and WSS-PONY Branch members\, family and friends embarked on a four-night cruise out of Long Beach aboard CARNIVAL RADIANCE (formerly the CARNIVAL VICTORY). Although a port call at Catalina Island was cancelled due to rough seas\, members did not lack for fun activities\, including a port call at Ensenada\, Mexico; a visit with Captain Eduardo Ferrone\, the ship’s Master\, on the bridge of the RADIANCE; a presentation on passenger-ship builder’s plates by Captain Terry Tilton\, U.S.N. (Ret); and two cocktail receptions hosted by SSHSA and Carnival. Our thanks to the SSHSA\, the QUEEN MARY Hotel\, and the crew of the CARNIVAL RADIANCE for a very enjoyable week in the company of fellow ship enthusiasts. \n(Photo: carnival-news.com) \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:DUTCH LINERS TO THE EAST INDIES Presented by Captain Albert Schoonderbeek
DESCRIPTION:The Kingdom of the Netherlands included colonies in the Far East from the 17th century onwards until 1948 when they became the Republic of Indonesia.  With the advent of steam\, the Dutch VOC (United (East) Indies Company) morphed into several companies such as the Netherland Line\, Rotterdam Lloyd\, and Royal Packet.  In the same way the British Empire had morphed the P&O\, Orient and B.I shipping companies. \nTo maintain a regular service to and from the mother country\, a large fleet was needed to sail like clockwork through the Suez Canal.  The inter-island fleet of Royal Packet (KPM) was even larger.  The heyday was the 1920’s and 30’s with ships such as JOHAN VAN OLDENBARNEVELT\, the DEMPO and BALOERAN\, and a brief resurrection after WWII with the MS ORANJE and MS WILLEM RUYS. \nDue to political reasons\, the fleets became smaller and smaller and eventually all companies were absorbed into Nedlloyd.  With containerization\, Nedlloyd eventually merged into Maersk Lines.  Apart from some office buildings in Amsterdam\, Rotterdam\, and the Far East\, there is not much left that reminds us of those days.  In the Netherlands those times are known as ‘Tempo Doeloe’ which is Indonesian for ‘The Good Times.’ \nCapt. Albert will condense this enormous fleet and the story of its worldwide reach into his presentation.  He will also provide insights into the rich Dutch Empire shipping history. \nCapt. Albert J. Schoonderbeek served with Holland America Line for 42 years; culminating in his appointment as the line’s Fleet Master. He writes and lectures frequently about Holland America Line and passenger ship history\, and he maintains a website and blog www.captainalbert.com.  In addition to authoring four books on the topic of Holland America Line\, he is also the co-author of HAL’s official 125-year company history. \n(Photo: Capt.
