SS Statendam was a transatlantic ocean liner launched in Ireland in 1898 for Holland America Line, the first of several ships of the company to carry the name. Harland and Wolff built her at Belfast on slipway number 6 as yard number 320, laying her keel on 6 July 1897, launching her on 7 May 1898 and completing her on 18 August 1898. She measured 10,475 gross register tons, the first ship of the line above 10,000, and had twin screws each driven by a three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engine, rated together at 1,126 nominal horsepower and giving 15 knots. She was the largest ship in the fleet until Potsdam was completed in 1900. Allan Line bought her in 1911 and renamed her Scotian, Canadian Pacific renamed her Marglen in 1922, and she was towed to Genoa and broken up in 1927.
