Protected cruiser Gelderland
The protected cruiser (pantserdekschip) HNLMS "Gelderland" was part of the Holland class of the Royal Netherlands Navy. This class comprised six ships and was seen as a modest but well-designed type. The ships were named HNLMS "Holland", "Zeeland", "Friesland", "Gelderland", "Noordbrabant", and "Utrecht".
HNLMS "Gelderland" was built at the Fijenoord shipyard in Rotterdam. She was launched on 28 September 1898 and commissioned on 15 July 1900. At a cruising speed of 10 knots, her range was about 8.000 miles. Two triple-expansion engines provided a top speed of 20 knots.
This book describes the history, construction, and operational service of HNLMS "Gelderland".
