Geocaching Across The Atlantic Geocoin

Travelling across the ocean

The Netherlands-American Steamship Company was founded in 1873. It was headquartered in Rotterdam and provided service to both North and South America. The shipping and passenger line was a principal carrier of immigrants from Europe to the new world: New York. It became known as the Holland America Line.

Design

The front side of the coin shows a steamship, designed in remembrance of the old advertising campaigns of the steamship company.
The back side of the coin represents the Dutch engine order telegraph at the bridge of the steamship.
