Stephen J. Card
World famous maritime artist STEPHEN J. CARD, renowned for his splendid paintings on board Holland America cruise ships and his wonderful art book “The Spotless Fleet”, designed the following series of magnificent Delft Blue tiles depicting famous HAL ships: Nieuw Amsterdam (1938), Ryndam (1951), Statendam (1957), Rotterdam (1959) and Koningsdam (2016). He also designed a matching set of four tiles depicting the famous Holland-America Line’s ss Nieuw Amsterdam in four periods of her operational life: (1938-1940) (1941-1946) (1947-1956) and (1957-1974). Stephen designed three separate tiles of the of Holland-America’s ss Rotterdam in various settings, one celebrating the 60-year jubilee of her maidentrip. The 60-year jubilee tile is also available as a beautiful plate.
In addition to the twelve Holland-America Line Tiles, we also offer two tiles designed by Stephen J. Card depicting the White Star Line’s Titanic and Olympic. Both are also available as Delft Blue plates.
