transported some 850,000 immigrants to the United States in its heyday as a
Dutch transatlantic steamship company. Service between Rotterdam and New York
ended in 1971, and today HAL is an American-owned "premium cruise line" with 13
ships that serve more than 600,000 guests per year. (A fourteenth vessel, the
Eurodam, will enter service in July.)
