POTSDAM The "Potsdam" was a 12,606 gross ton ship, built in 1899 by Blohm & Voss, Hamburg for the Holland-America Line. Her details were - length 550ft x beam 62ft, one funnel, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 15 knots. There was accommodation for 282-1st, 210-2nd and 1,800-3rd class passengers. Launched on 15/12/1899, she sailed from Rotterdam on her maiden voyage to New York on 17/5/1900. In 1904 her funnel was lengthened by 23 ft to improve draught and made this ship easily recognizable. She commenced her last voyage from Rotterdam to New York on 24/4/1915, and then went to the Swedish American Line and was renamed "Stockholm". She left Gothenburg on her first voyage for this company on 11/12/1915 and called at Kirkwall for contraband inspection on her way to New York. In 1922 she was reconditioned in Gothenburg, and her funnel reduced in height. Commenced her last voyage from Gothenburg to Halifax and New York on 29/9/1928 and in 1929 was converted to a Norwegian whale factory ship and renamed "Solglimt". In 1941 she was captured in the Antarctic by the German Armed Merchant Raider "Pinguin" and taken to Bordeaux. Later the same year she was put under the German flag and renamed "Sonderburg". On 29/6/1944 she was scuttled by the Germens at Cherbourg, raised in 1947 and scrapped. [ North Atlantic Seaway by N.R.P.

Bud (Boyd e.) was told by his father Boyd P. van der Laan that
"Bartele must have the one in Debtors Prison in Germany. Our Grandfather Lubbertus
spoke seven languages and was in apprenticeship with a traveling Lawyer. Great
Grandfather Sieger Bouwes sent our Grandfather to get him. My dad told me that years ago."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marion Vander Laan said that Bart's wife Kathrina had a German accent, and so probably came over from Germany with him.
