Gender Male Research 18 Apr 1882 New York, USA (Age 52 years) Jan Kloosterman emigrated to America and arrived in New York 18-04-1882 on the S.S. Surry. He travelled in the "wealthy' category". On the ship's manifest the father Jan Kloosterman is correct at age 52 as his birthday had not yet occurred. The only problem with this entry is that te first "J Kloosterman" has the age of 54. I would have assumed that it would be son Jacob Kloosterman at age 24.
Given the fact that I can't find any other record for Jacob, I am going to assume that it was an error on the part of the person writing down the names. Jan Kloosterman would not have been without family in America, as his younger brother Jacob immigrated 10 years later.Immigration 18 Apr 1882 New York, USA (Age 52 years) Death 1917 Rusk, Ottawa County, Michigan, USA Cause: Hip fracture Age 87 years Burial Rusk Cemetery, Ottawa County, Michigan, USA Patriarch & Matriarch

Combined Steam Vessel, S.S. Surrey, coming from New York" painted by Antonio Jacobsen.
Antonio Nicolo Gasparo Jacobsen (1850 - 1921) was a Danish-born American maritime artist known as the "Audubon of Steam Vessels".
After having studied realism at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen, he moved to America to avoid being drafted into the Franco-Prussian War (1871). Antonio Nicolo Gasparo Jacobsen (November 2, 1850 – February 2, 1921) was a Danish-born American maritime artist known as the "Audubon of Steam Vessels".
He lived in New York City as a safe decorator and within a few years he began painting portraits of ships that were in the Old Dominion Steamship Line. Between 1876-1919 the prolific painter executed more than 5900 portraits of vessels ranging from freighters, steamships, sailing vessel, schooners and yachts.
Jacobsen's style is often, though not exclusively, characterized by a flattened perspective. He had a complete understanding of ships and achieved great accuracy of detail in his works.
The editors of Who Was Who in American Art (volume 2, p. 1707) claims: “In his later life, his daughter, Helen, helped paint the sky and water of his pictures. His son Carl even painted some of his own ship portraits.
In 1880, Jacobsen moved to West Hoboken, New Jersey, where he remained for the rest of his life. A majority of his canvases are signed A. Jacobsen or Antonio Jacobsen with one of his West Hoboken addresses below the signature. He died in West Hoboken in 1921.
Jacobsen’s work can be found in many museums throughout the U.S. including the Mariner’s Museum, Newport News, VA; Mystic Seaport Museum (CT); Peabody Museum, Salem (MA); New York Historical Society (NY); Fall River Marine Museum (MA); Louisiana State Museum (LA) and the Shelburne Museum (VA).Jan Kloosterman

This was the very first ship operated on behalf of the Atlantic Transport Line. The Ships Particulars Books kept by William Gray & Co. record her construction in considerable detail, and note that her accommodation was as follows, "Capn & spare aft, Officers & engineers amidship Crew forward Cattlemen below." John McRoberts noted that "she was furnished with every modern appliance and improvement."
The Surrey was built and managed by Bernard N. Baker's London agents, Hooper, Murrell & Williams, and was chartered to the Atlantic Transport Line. Frederick Murrell, a native of West Hartlepool who was living in London at the time, clearly supervised the Surrey's construction on a regular basis and she was launched by Mrs. John P. Hooper. The Marine Engineer (September 1, 1881, p.135) records that Surrey was fitted with Mr. Raymer's patent distilling apparatus of a size calculated to produce 4,000 gallons of fresh water per day. In practice, this apparatus actually delivered some 1,500 gallons daily in excess of the stipulated supply.
The Surrey's maiden voyage took her from Barrow to New York with a cargo of iron ore. Shortly after she was chartered to the Royal Netherlands Steamship Company (KNSM) and fitted with accommodation for over 1,200 steerage passengers.
She began sailing on the Amsterdam to New York on April 2, 1882, with 1,258 passengers and made seven voyages on this route under the command of Captain W. Bacon. After her year under charter Surrey was returned to Atlantic Transport Line and by early 1886 she was evidently under charter to the Cambria Line sailing under the command of Frederick Murrell's son Hamilton Murrell.
In 1888 the Surrey was renamed Michigan to comply with the line's new house style of ship nomenclature. The following year she was handed over to Williams, Torrey & Feild's Bernard Steamship Company (which sounds like one of the agent's single-ship companies), and in 1889 was sold on to Christopher Furness. In 1890 the Michigan was sold to Charles Lilburn and then again sold on to C. A. Betys (later Betys, Craig & Company) London. In 1893 she was purchased by Wilhelm Wilhemsen of Norway, and in 1900 was again sold. Her new owner, L. Luckenbach of the Luckenbach Lines, renamed her Harry Luckenbach and converted her to carry oil in bulk. On January 6, 1918, she was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U 84 in the very north of the Bay of Biscay, North West of Penmarch.
