pennylrichardsca and artolog: Thanks for the additional information on Bouisosn. We'll include it next time we update the description.

Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence(1867-1954), English feminist and peace activist: www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Wpethick.htm Jane Addams(1860-1935), first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Addams Annie E. Molloy was president of the Boston Telephone Operators' Union, selected to be a delegate to the Hague conference as a representative of working women. I think I can pick out a few more faces using the Swarthmore's numbered portrait of the Hague conference delegates, and this very handy set of passport photos of the delegates: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/puzzlemaster/sets/72157610810878274/] Lillian Kohlhamer of Chicago (same hat in both photos); her passport photo (in the same hat): Mary Heaton Vorse of New York City; her passport photo:

Brief information about the first Motor Ship or Steam Ship Noordam (1901-1928) can be found at Noordam history:

From August to October 1914, the early months of World War I, she made a few commercial voyages, but after striking a mine in the North Sea on 17 October, Noordam spent the winter in Rotterdam. She returned to service 26 March 1915, one of the few liners to maintain regular service from the continent during the war. She struck another mine, though, off Terschelling Bank in August 1917 and did not return to service; instead, she spent the rest of the war in layup at Rotterdam.

More on Mary Heaton Vorse: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Heaton_Vorse LOC, please note, delegate is Annie E. Molloy, not Anna Molloy (negative) or Anita Molloy (LOC transcription).

pennylrichardsca and artolog: thank you for the background information and correct name. We will update the record.
