Every ocean liner enthusiast should have  a model of this famous ship.   Most liner buffs will agree with the opinion that the Nieuw Amsterdam was the most graceful, best proportioned ocean liner of all “golden age.”  Holland’s “ship of peace”  reigned as queen of the Netherlands from 1938 until her retirement in Dec. 1973.  Another of the most beloved, fondly remembered ocean liners.  We are extremely proud of our model of her, offered both in early (dark hull) and late (light grey hull) versions.   Our model  features:

• Scratch-built

• All wooden and metal parts

• Plank-on-frame hull construction just like the way real ships are built

• 110 V lighting which can be displayed with or without

• Adjustable brightness level

52" long x 8" wide     $1,500    S & H is $130

Historical Significance: 

In an era of undisguised luxury and leviathans, the Nieuw Amsterdam stands out as a ship of untarnished stature. With a large cash reserve, the Holland America Line set out to build a national flagship for the fleet. 

By all accounts, the Nieuw Amsterdam took ocean liner interior decor to a new plateau. Designed to be the gem of the Dutch fleet, the accommodations and interior appointments were the finest afloat. Lavishly decorated in light colors and possessing the supreme luxury of spacious accommodations, the Nieuw Amsterdam was the most modern and contemporary liner of the 30's.
