Training ship Gelderland

Before the artillery instruction ship Van Kinsbergen was commissioned in 1939, gunners received their first training on board the old armoured cruiser Gelderland, which served in this capacity between 1920 and 1939. Below I have gathered a number of photographs and postcards of the ship during her career. If you have any photos to add, please Contact me.
	Gelderland leaving Den Helder for the Netherlands East Indies in 1900. (Collection webmaster)
	Gelderland at Marseille, November 22 1900. On October 11, 1899, an armed conflict broke out between the British Empire and the Boer-republics in South Africa. In May, 1900 president Paul Kruger of the Transvaal Republic fled to Lourenzo Marques (now Maputo, Mozambique) just before Johannesburg was seized by British troops. He was picked up from Lourenzo Marques by the Gelderland. The ship left for Marseille on October 20, and arrived on November 22. (Collection J. Klootwijk) More about the Second Boer War and president Paul Kruger.
	Gelderland at Marseille, November 22, 1900. (Collection J. Klootwijk) Note: the postcard mentions the date November 21, but all sources at my disposal mention November 22, 1900 as the date of arrival in Marseille. Gelderland left port the same day.
