Background
About the ship
This Holland-class protected cruiser was laid down in Schiedam in November 1897. After her commissioning, Gelderland was sent to the East Indies, where she stayed until 1905. In 1920, she was converted into a training ship. At the outbreak of World War II, the cruiser was partially disarmed and was not part of the navy. In 1940, Gelderland was captured by the Germans and refitted as floating AA battery Niobe. The ship was sunk in the port of Kotka, Finland, in 1944.
