S.S. Koningin der Nederlanden (Dutch Passenger Liner, 1911).
Served as USS Koningin der Nederlanden (ID # 2708) in 1918-1919

Koningin der Nederlanden, an 8225 gross ton passenger cargo steamer, was built at Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 1911. She was employed commercially under the Dutch flag until March 1918, when the U.S. Government seized her at San Francisco, California. The ship served in the U.S. Navy as USS Koningin der Nederlanden (ID # 2708) from early April 1918 until November 1919. Later returned to her Dutch owners, she resumed mercantile employment, which lasted until she was sold for scrapping in 1932.

This page features all the views we have concerning the Dutch passenger liner Koningin der Nederlanden and USS Koningin der Nederlanden (ID # 2708).
