    On 26 May 1915, TEXAS responded to an emergency call to rescue passengers aboard the damaged Holland-American ship RYNDAM (RIJNDAM in Dutch). The RYNDAM and the Norwegian steam JOESPH J CUNEO collided in a dense fog off Nantucket Shoals, off the Rhode Island shore. Racing through the fog with the SOUTH CAROLINA, the ships arrived at the location and rescued 230 passengers. With the passengers rescued, both ships escorted the damaged RYNDAM on a19 hour move to New York City. From this website www.bb35library.usstexasbb35.com/history/1915-1917-aprall...

    The Holland America Line is still running cruises and has a new Ryndham. www.hollandamerica.com/cruise-vacation-onboard/Ryndam

    Bain got the name wrong. It was never known as the Ryndham, just Ryndam or Rijndam.
