HISTORY MINUTE

Holland America Line was founded in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and from 1873 to 1989,
it operated as a Dutch shipping line, a passenger line, a cargo line and a cruise line.
As part of the company's legacy, it was directly involved in the transport of thousands of
emigrants from the Netherlands to North America.

The company's first ship was the original Rotterdam, and sailed its 15-day maiden voyage
from the Netherlands to New York City on October 15, 1872.
During the first 25 years the company carried 400,000 people from Europe to the Americas.
In 1989 it was purchased by the Carnival Corporation.
