Zo kwamenm de Indo,s hier aan wal via de Willem Ruys en verschillende andere schepen,van een warm prachtig land naar ons kikkerlandje.Oh wat zullen ze het koud gehad hebben!☹😲🥶⛄🌧🌥☀
The Amerika had something new in interior design then the Willem Ruys in a later generation had something new in exterior design with bridge far back and the lifeboats much lower than on other ships. When you know about the Willem Ruys you can see her influence on later ships.
Great to see this ship, sick of the Olympic class and all the crap that people write about them. I saw this ship many a time and passed her at sea a few times. Show some more if you can. Oranje, Nieuw Amsterdam, Rotterdam. Groete. Ex Brit seaman. Oh, I love Will Glahe too!
I wonder if the mermaid staircase was still in place after the Willem Ruys became the Achille Lauro. In the novel "The Poseidon Adventure" there's mention of the staircase descending to the dining room. I wonder if author Paul Gallico, who was quite an ocean liner traveler, got the idea for the Poseidon's staircase from the one on the Willem Ruys.
Man, I love this song! It is so Jazzy! A beat to dance to.
That is a awesome music! You really got great taste. I can't believe no has listen to this type of music for years.

Ruys previously should be named Batavia, and her yard no. was 214? ♍
the deck above her almost looks like balcony cabins

MS, not SS. You can sea one diesel engine in the video and ms is written in the bell.

No. The ship that was inspired for the book was the Queen Mary, & the interiors were base off the Queen Mary.
This ship was bought by Italy and renamed Achile lauro (sp?), hijacked by PLO then caught on fire while cruising the coast of Africa.

Did’nt see Achille Lauro at all. Great vid though.
Same ship Jim...changed name after being sold...
