The cargo ship, Zuiderdijk, was the first Holland America Line vessel launched with the "Zuider" prefix in 1912. It was a fixture of the shipping lanes between Rotterdam and Savannah, Georgia through 1922 with a brief stint during World War I as a transport vessel. A second "Zuider"-named passenger ship, the Zuiderdam, was launched in Rotterdam in 1941. The ship was pulled into service at the start of World War II and was damaged in a British air raid and later sunk by the Germans to block the port of Rotterdam. The ms Zuiderdam entered service in December 2002 and former talk show personality Joan Lunden named the ship in Fort Lauderdale on December 14, 2002.
