Hello dear people,
I've found some information about the Statendam II, for none-Dutch people better known as Justicia. Statendam II was built by H&W for the Holland America Line and it was almost the same as Titanic. Just a bit larger, but her size made her the sixth biggest ship in the world at the time of her building. Because of this ship and its similarity with Titanic Jonkheer Reuchlin of the Holland America Line boarded Titanic. He died, but the building of the Statendam II was set forward.
In the early months of 1914 (statendam was still at H&W) the ship was taken by the British government under the threat of total confisqation. Of course the Dutch government couldn't do anything against this.
The Statendam II was handed over to the White Star Line under her new name "Justicia".
Because of their knowledge with Titanic, pretty much old crewmembers of Titanic were placed on Justicia.
My question is if there is someone who could give me information our the names of formal Titanic crewmembers who were placed on Justicia. Are there any accounts about them??
Much greetings Rollie
