1922-10-11 SS Rijndam Dinner Menu
Ornate Vintage Dinner Menu from Wednesday, 11 October 1922 on board the SS Rijndam of the Holland-America Line featured Salmon slices à la butler Apples Natural, Beef tongue braised à la Choisy, and Suchard Cake for dessert. The Menu, written in French, has been translated to English. A Music Program was included with this Menu.
Our collection contains a sampling of menus initially produced and printed by the steamship lines. They are often used to illustrate family history books for immigrants from this time.
