Others
Although
the two main private issuers of privately produced tiles with Holland
America Line ships are undboubtedly van der Heide and Paideia in
Canada, there have been and will be others. In the display below we
list those other tiles we are aware of. The rare tile below is of
unknown year but was made by Zenith, The Netherlands. In consideration of the rather crude artwork, this may have been a one-up
tile made by an individual or a test tile that never made it into mass production. I
need this
tile for my collection.

After
it's decommissioning, the Rotterdam V was saved from the brokers yard
by volunteers, fully restored to its old glory and is now moored in the
harbor of Rotterdam, to be used as a floating hotel and conference
center. The "Stichting Rotterdam" ("Rotterdam Foundation")
has issued the tile(s) shown below to commemorate the re-birth of this grand vessel.
