You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''SS ''Rotterdam''''' was a [[The Netherlands|Dutch]] [[Passenger ship]] that ran aground and sunk on the Zeehondenbank near the Dutch island of Schouwen, while she was travelling from [[New York City|New York]], [[United States]] to [[Rotterdam]], [[The Netherlands]].

== Construction ==
''Rotterdam'' was constructed in 1872 at the [[Henderson, Coulborn and Company]] shipyard in [[Renfrew]], [[Scotland]], [[United Kingdom]]. She was completed in 1872 and launched on 6 June 1872. She was named ''Rotterdam'' after the Dutch city (of the same name).

The ship was ((convert|81.8|m|ftin)) long, with a beam of ((convert|10.7|m|ftin)) and had a  depth of ((convert|8.7|m|ftin)). The ship was assessed at ((GRT|1,694)) and had 2 decks. She had a 1 x 4 cyl quadruple expansion engine driving a single screw propeller but she could also use her 10 sails for propulsion. The engine was rated at 1300 [[Indicated horsepower|ihp]].<ref name=SSM>((cite web |url=http://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?295 |title=SS Rotterdam I (+1883) |publisher=Wrecksite |date= |accessdate=26 September 2015))</ref>

== Maiden Voyage ==
She commenced her maiden voyage on 15 October 1872, sailing from [[Rotterdam]], [[The Netherlands]] to [[New York City|New York]], [[United States]],  via [[Plymouth]], [[United Kingdom]].  On board were 10 Cabin class passengers, 60 emigrants and 600 tons of cargo. The crossing was made in 14 days and 6 hours. This was also the first voyage of an own ship for the company. The ship left New York on 5 November 1872 to return to Rotterdam.<ref name=SAM>((cite web |url=http://www.cruise-australia.net/hal-holland-america-line.htm |title=Holland-America Line |publisher= |date= |accessdate=26 September 2015))</ref>

== The Boston Forger Escape ==
Some excitement occurred on 28 January 1876 when the [[New York Times]] reported that the well-known "Boston Forger" Mr. E.D Winslow, had escape from the [[United States]] to [[The Netherlands|Holland]] by taking passage on the ''SS Rotterdam''. He had his family (3 persons), a Bankers draft for 3,700 Dutch Guilders and $200,000 in Gold coins with him. He was followed in hot pursuit by two Detectives but they only traced him to the [[Holland America Line|Holland America]] docks by the time the ship had sailed. As the USA had no extradition treaty with the Netherlands, his escape was complete.

== The 1879 Incident ==
On 29 November 1879 the [[New York Herald]] reported that the arrival of the ship created quite a stir as she arrived minus her foremast and her steerage quarters completely wrecked. The ship had left Rotterdam on 8 November 1879 and should have arrived, with good weather, in New York on 20 November. Some ferocious weather had caused considerable damage to the ship and had resulted in a delay of 6 days as she docked on 26 November 1879. There were no reports about any casualties.

== New Boilers ==
In the Spring of 1883 the ship was refurbished and new boilers installed at the yard of the [[Nederlandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij]] in [[Rotterdam]]. (2,040 Brt.) This improved the fuel consumption considerably. The ship returned to service but only made a few crossings.

== Sinking ==
On 26 September 1883, ''Rotterdam'' was on her 65th voyage from [[New York City|New York]], [[United States]] to [[Rotterdam]], [[The Netherlands]] when she ran ashore on the Zeehondenbank near the [[The Netherlands|Dutch]] island of [[Schouwen]]. All 56 passengers survived the incident and were evacuated from the ship by the ''Zierikzee'' (a local fishing vessel, adapted for use as a lifeboat) and landed safely ashore. The crew arrived shortly after having been transferred to the tugboat ''Nieuwesluis'' which had been sent out after the stranded ship had sent out a request. Later on a second tugboat, the ''Hellevoetsluis'' was dispatched. However, the ship was sitting so high up on the bank that very little could be done.

Then the weather turned for the worse and the abandoned ship broke into two pieces on 12 October 1883 due to the pounding waves building up over the [[sandbank]]. Eventually the hull disappeared under the sea. Those items that could be salvaged were sold by public auction on 29 October 1883.<ref name=ASM>((cite web |url=http://www.hollandamericablog.com/holland-line-ships-past-and-present/1872-the-s-s-rotterdam-i/ |title=Rotterdam (I) |publisher= |date=2013 |accessdate=26 September 2015))</ref>
