Happy Memorial Day

In observance of the U.S. national holiday Memorial Day, we will not be posting today. We will return tomorrow with more great Holland America Blog content.
My Mother (95) has a Barometer that was given to The President of the Holland America Lines back in WWII. His name was Gips and he was the husband of my father’s sister. This Barometer was an award for the work he did to get people saved during the war.
My mother would like to donate this Barometer to The Holland America Lines and have it prominently displayed somewhere where it would not be forgotten.
Do you know who I should contact to complete her wishes??
Good morning,
my name is Capt. Albert Schoonderbeek and I am the company historian and one of the company’s captains. I would be honored to help with this, and I will contact you from my email outside the blog.
thank you and best regards
Capt. Albert
