  Interesting bit of history. I guess the photographer will forever remain anonymous.

Life boat drill, Holland America Line - putting boats over the side (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Nathan Adams said:

  Wonder how soon after the Titanic sank that this was conducted?

• Kilted Cowboy said:

  the rings show this is the SS Rotterdam. 5 boats might indicate Rotterdam III, however her service dates were 1897-1906, so it is probably Rotterdam IV 1908-1940 which would mean 2 more boats would be to the right of the ones shown.

• Lewis Wyman said:

  On closer inspection, the ring (flotation devices?) indicate the S.S. STATENDAM. Do you think that this is the correct ship? Could the following also be the Statendam? flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2787140790

• Kilted Cowboy said:

  It's really difficult to say. When I sharpen and enlarge this one it looks more like Rotterdam, when I do the other one it looks more like Statendam. Both ships are very similar is size and layout so it is probably impossible to say for sure, though I think it is most likely Statendam based on having 5 lifeboats in the photo and not 6.
