Sjouke Jan Veldhuis
(1918
– 1997)
Introduction
The
Veldhuis Collection is presented by
Mr Harm Brink of the Dutch Cruise Site
Cristiaan Huygens
Mr. Sjouke Jan Veldhuis was born in 1918 in
the Netherlands.
Living during the days of the great ocean liners, Mr Veldhuis acquired a passion
for shipping. Whenever possible, he would visit ships, which were in port. Over
the years, he assembled a huge collection of memorabilia, and photographs
of many ships.
The late Mr. Sjouke Jan Veldhuis 1918 –
1997
Being a man with an incredible talent, during the late 30s
and early 40s, he painted many ocean liners and various smaller
ships. Interestingly, he decided not to paint them in the traditional manner of
the day, rather in a photographic way, taking great pains to make every detail
exact.
Mr Veldhuis made many friends over the years, especially among those who
shared his love for ships. Mr. Harm Brink, who has a passion for ships, met Mr.
Veldhuis in 1953 and over the years he kept in close contact with Mr. Veldhuis
until the passing on 19 December 1997, aged 79. Harm Brink continues his
admiration of the Mr. Veldhuis art. Harm Brink has an interesting and
informative Cruise Site, written both in Dutch and English … The Dutch
Cruise Site – link is located bottom of page.

for Passenger/Crew Lists and Sailing Schedules. I hereby wish to advise
that I am unable to assist due to time restrains and as most shipping companies
have long gone these lists/schedules are no longer available. I regret to
advise that any request for these will no longer be answered regardless of the

Note:
Photographs
on cruise-australia.net are: 1. By the author. 2. From the author’s private collection. 3. As
provided by Shipping Companies and private photographers or collectors. Credit
is given to all contributors. However, there are photographs provided to me
without details provided regarding the photographer concerned. I hereby invite
if owners of these images would be so kind to make them-selves known to me,
that due credit may be given. I know what it is like, I have seen a multitude
of my own photographs on other sites, yet they either refuse
to give me credit and even refuse to remove them, knowing full well that
there is no legal comeback when it comes to the net. However, let us show the
charlatans up and do the right thing at all times and give credit where credit
is due! Note: I do
not credit those who send me photos as they are not the owners of the
photographs concerned, unless the image is part of their private collection.
This notice covers
all pages, although, I have done my best to ensure that all photographs are
duly credited and that this notice is displaced on each page, that is, when a
page is updated!
