This painting breathes the atmosphere of the Canadian St. Lawrence Seaway. The graceful Oranje Lijn vessel Prinses Margriet sails slowly past the viewer.

Oranje Lijn

After a very short career in Oranje Lijn service, Prinses Margriet (1961) was chartered in 1964 by the Holland America Line to replace the Noordam on the Rotterdam-New York line. A few years later, in 1970, the ship was sold to the Nauru Pacific Line as Enna G. In a region unknown to her, the ship started a new career. She was maintaining a regular service between San Francisco and Micronesia in the Pacific. This allowed a new generation of passengers to enjoy the ships’ friendly, small-scale atmosphere.
