I've scanned in the entire passenger list for the SS Maasdam. I'll try
to get the pages up on the web this week. Here's the first page with a
cover shot of the ship:

All pages now online. Link to next consecutive page at bottom of each
page.

When I get some time, I'll type up a list of all the passenger names.
Some of the names are difficult to decipher on the webpages.

Before someone asks ... I am aware that the names jump from "Bounin"
at the bottom of one page and start again with "Durant" at the top of
the next page.

It is clear I am missing a page. Someone wrote in a running tally of
the number of passengers at the top of two columns on each page
(adults and children). I count 41 adults and 9 children on the first
page. The next page shows a tally at the top of these columns of 90
adults and 27 children, so it appears there is another page with a
total of 49 adults and 18 children.

Now, whether I have misplaced a page, or a page was inadvertently left
out when the copy was sent to me is still in question. I did keep the
pages together in the original envelope though.

I've emailed my source to check for this additional page with names
between "Bounin" and "Durant".

Ya, I know. It was destroyed by the EVIL MINIONS!!!

My source has emailed me the missing page, and I have now uploaded it
to my website as

Couple of interesting surnames: Chaney and Breslin

He also sent me a color photo of the ship:

The SS Maasdam was sold, and renamed several times before ending up in
Greece. The ship was dismantled in 2000 AD.

Correction: The ship was scrapped
in Aliaga, Turkey.

By the way, the Maasdam name has carried on ..here is a photo of the
MS Maasdam.

G. Gordon Liddy was a featured special guest aboard a cruise on the MS
Maasdam in August 1997.

Every ship needs a legend.

G.Gordon Liddy,(of Watergate) was he the one who held his hand over
open flames to be macho?
