About
SS Beemsterdijk was a Holland America Line (NASM) cargo steamship. She was one of NASM's B-class ships: the company's first cargo ships to be powered by steam turbines. She was built in Rotterdam in 1922. A mine sank the ship in the Irish Sea in 1941, with the loss of 39 of her 42 crew. Her survivors drifted in a life raft for four days, until an RNLI lifeboat rescued them off the coast of Ireland. Some sources anglicise the ship's name to Beemsterdyk. However, Lloyd's Register always recorded her as Beemsterdijk.
