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.

Art Siegel Just noticed Bain got it right on this caption, LOC has mis-transcribed.

De Ruyter is probably en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michiel_Adriaenszoon_de_Ruyter
"Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter (24 March 1607 – 29 April 1676) is the most famous and one of the most skilled admirals in Dutch history. De Ruyter is most famous for his role in the Anglo-Dutch Wars of the 17th century. He fought the English and French and scored several major victories against them, the best known probably being the Raid on the Medway. "

This is a silver model.
