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.

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

According to The Day book. (Chicago, Ill.), 11 Jan. 1916. Last edition, page 31 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045487/1916-01-11/ed-... the Noordam sailed from The Hague to New York in January 1916, with 50 student members of the Ford Peace party aboard. This could be some of them on arrival in New York.

swanq: Thanks for the information - I think you are correct, and we can add a few more details to this record.

I think it's this fellow: "The Right Reverend George Henry Somerset Walpole (9 November 1854 – 4 March 1929) was an Anglican priest, teacher and author. After early service in the west of England he moved first to Auckland, New Zealand, and then to New York, before returning to England. After educational work in Durham and pastoral work in London he was elected Bishop of Edinburgh in 1910, and held the post until his death." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Walpole Dorothea Elizabeth Walpole (2/20/1887-11/16/1959) became a medical doctor in 1925 at the age of 38.
