The SS Zeeland was a passenger liner built in 1900 for the Holland America Line. It was one of the earliest ships to have wireless telegraphy equipment installed for communication at sea. The ship had a luxurious interior, including a dining room, smoking room, and library for its passengers. In 1914, the SS Zeeland was requisitioned for service as a troopship during World War I. After the war, it returned to commercial service until 1922 when it was scrapped. The SS Zeeland had a notable career as a transatlantic liner and played a role in both civilian and military transportation during its time in service.
