The Royal Zeelandia Group BV (Zeelandia) serves the professional bread and confectionery trade worldwide with baking ingredients in over 100 countries worldwide.
When H.J. Doeleman founded Zeelandia in 1900, the company’s core business was to produce rusk jelly for local bakers in the Dutch coastal province of Zeeland. Over the following decades, the company expanded its portfolio and international scope, earning the designations ‘Purveyor to the Royal household’ (1925) and ‘Royal’ (1950) along the way.
USS Zeelandia (ID-2507) was a transport that served in the United States Navy from 1918 to 1919.
The passenger ship Zeelandia was constructed in 1910 by A. Stephens and Sons, Ltd., at Glasgow, Scotland, in the United Kingdom. She was operated in transatlantic service by the Royal Dutch Lloyd lines until March 1918, when she was chartered by the U.S. Navy.
The ship was given Id. No. 2507 and placed in commission as USS Zeelandia at New York, New York, on 3 April 1918, Commander Robert Henderson in command.
Assigned to the Newport News Division of the Transport Force, Zeelandia carried troops across the Atlantic Ocean during the remaining months of World War I. She made five round-trip voyages to French ports between commissioning and the armistice with Germany on 11 November 1918. During those voyages, she carried a total of 8,349 passengers — mostly troops — to Europe.
Though Zeelandia claimed to have sighted and engaged German U-boats on several occasions during her wartime service, only one encounter was verified as definitely a submarine. That event occurred at dusk on 31 August 1918, when a submarine surfaced to attack the convoy in which she cruised. The attacker, however, could not press home its attack because of zigzag tactics and a moderately strong escort.
1336 Zeelandia (1934 RW) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on September 9, 1934, by H. van Gent at Johannesburg (LS).
Goodnight my love
Remember me as you fall to sleep
Fill your pockets with the dust and the memories
That rises from the shoes on my feet
I won't be back here
Though we may meet again
I know it's dark outside
Don't be afraid
Everytime I ever cried from fear
Was just a mistake that I made
Wash yourself in your tears
And build your church
On the strength of your faith
Please
Listen to me
Don't let go
Don't let this desperate moonlight leave me
With your empty pillow
Promise me the sun will rise again
I too am tired now
Embracing thoughts of tonight's dreamless sleep
My head is empty
My toes are warm
