  • My wife and I crossed on the New Amsterdam in 1964, It was a wonderful voyage. How great to see this video. I have only still pictures taken from the ship. Compared to the United States on which we crossed in1966, it had much more elegant interiors, thought much slower. Nothing compares to steaming out of NY Harbor past the Statue of Liberty and out to the North Atlantic.

  • I look at Nieuw Amsterdam & I see very graceful lines. Her Holland-American funnels are dazzeling. united states, she seems so plain

  • I think SS Nieuw Amsterdam is far more prettier & graceful of the 2. I would gladly sail on the Nieuw Amsterdam over the united states. Maybe I'm not seeing it, but so special about Old Lady uss united states? I just can't see what makes her great.

  • I never tire of seeing footage of the Big U. The portions showing HAL's Nieuw Amsterdam is a bonus! Two of the most glamorous liners of the 50s all in one video. WOW! Kudos to you!

  • What a great video!!! The sound track could have been right off of WPAT while the ships were sailing.. Pier 40 was always so great to watch a sailing from too.. Thanks for sharing this.. Cheers

  • The Rotterdam was not a sister ship to the Nieuw Amsterdam. Both vessels where fleet mates and boost a different and unique design.

  • Real glamour!....

  • Well, there WAS Nero...

  • Hi they left Hoboken in 1963. I can still remember how sad a day it was in Hoboken .They were in Hoboken at the time over 60 years .Where HAL"s 5th st pier was ,is now a great walkway and park .With great views of NYC .There was nothing like watching the HAL ships go out in the wintertime at night with the NYC shyline as back drop !! But it was time for HAL to have a new pier .And pier 40 at the time was a big deal .With parking on the pier right along side the side .

  • I found out from Mother that that worked at HAl from 62 to 74. If they were in Hoboken those years then yes he was there. I have some neat HAL stuff still around here.
