As a former flagship of the Holland-America Line and cruise ship, the ss Rotterdam has sailed many oceans. 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 a successful cruise ship thereafter. Since 4 August 2008, the ship has been a floating attraction (guided tours, hotel-café-restaurant) at the Derde Katendrechtse Hoofd in the Maashaven in Rotterdam.
ROTTERDAM - On 3 September 1959, ss Rotterdam was on its way to New York for the very first time. After that, La Grande Dame has spent more than 40 years sailing the seven seas as the former flagship of the Holland America Line. Today ss Rotterdam is permanently moored in Rotterdam.

I have been here before under less circumstances. As the weather forecast and therefore expected sunrise had all the right ingredients I went on a trip to Rotterdam. It was early in the morning and I'm not a morning person. There is something about the golden hour in the morning that makes it worth getting up this early. It's wintertime in the Netherlands, the mornings are freezing. Trying to setup your tripod and changing the camera setting while my hands are so cold, it hurts... But then slowly the light changes. You know you do not have a lot of time. During the creation of the pictures I totally forget how cold it is and the first reminder of the temperature is that first ray of warm sunlight on my face. This moment, when I just stand still and do nothing, makes the whole trip worth while.

In the bottom half of the frame is the SS Rotterdam, a former transatlantic cruise liner of the HAL, now a floating hotel SS Rotterdam. It was built in 1958 by the RDM and is an icon of modernist ship design. Her history is here.
The 50s photos on the external gateways of the old liner (gateway number 2 is shown here) have been printed on its glass facade with a very coarse matrix for transparency, so there's some nice moiré to be discerned.

The Rotterdam was the last great Dutch "ship of state", employing the finest artisans from the Netherlands in her construction and fitting out process. Her career spanned forty-one years. She sailed from 1959 until her final retirement in September 2000.
