In 1915 Henry Ford chartered the ms Noordam to carry delegates to a peace conference in the Netherlands. Here are photos of the Noordam, Ford and the delegates. Runs about 25 seconds with no music. Photos from Library of Congress.

Very interesting, and thanks Bill.
(I'm guessing that the conference was in the winter. I'm not used to seeing cruise passengers quite so bundled up.)
