The AMSTERDAM was built
by Harland & Wolff, Belfast in 1879 as the BRITISH CROWN for British
Shipowners, but was immediately chartered to the American Line. She was
a 3,563 gross ton vessel, length 410.3ft x beam 39ft, one funnel, four
masts, iron construction, single screw and a speed of 12 knots. Launched
on the 2 August 1879, she sailed from Liverpool on her maiden voyage for
the American Line to Philadelphia on 15 October 1879. She started
her last voyage on this service on 19 August 1885 and then went to the
Anchor Line, who used her on their London - Halifax - Boston service for
four round voyages. In July 1887 she went to the Furness Line who
used her on the same run for three round voyages. She was sold to
Holland America Line at the end of 1887 and renamed AMSTERDAM. Refitted
to carry 80-1st, 80-2nd and 800-3rd class passengers. On 31 December
1887 she commenced sailings from Rotterdam to New York. In 1893 she
was fitted with triple expansion engines and in 1899 her accommodation
was altered to 2nd and 3rd class only. She started her last Amsterdam
- New York voyage on 4 February 1905 and was then sold to an Italian company
who renamed her AMSTERDA and was later scrapped.
