Hello Bill,

This may not be enough to warrant an answer, but here's some info you
might be able use as a jumping off point to find what you're looking
for—

“American Classic acquired the ms Patriot, formerly known as the Nieuw
Amsterdam from Carnival's Holland America Line in October 2000 for
about $114.5 million.”
American Classic, which is controlled by billionaire Sam Zell, filed
for bankruptcy protection after its business fell by 50 percent in
wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.”
http://starbulletin.com/2001/10/23/business/story1.html

“On October 18, 2000 American Classic Voyages (parent company to Delta
Queen Steamboat Cruises and American Hawaii Cruises) revived a famous
name in American shipping -- United States Lines -- when it purchased
Holland America's 1983-built NIEUW AMSTERDAM and renamed her the M.S.
PATRIOT. USL acquired the ship for $114.5 million and the transfer
occurred at sea, approximately 14 miles off Portand, Oregon. At the
same moment she changed registry to Honolulu and now she sails under
the U.S. flag.”
http://www.maritimematters.com/americanhawaii.html

“The Patriot arrived in Honolulu in early December 2000, operating as
United States Lines, a name the parent American Classic had purchased.
American Classic bought it for $114.5 million and had a $21 million
refurbishing done on the West Coast. It was part of an ambitious $1
billion-plus plan to build two new 1,900-passenger liners in the
United States for service in Hawaii.”
http://starbulletin.com/2002/03/15/business/story2.html

The above information implies that American Classic Voyages were the
owners of the MS Patriot.

The following is the address and phone number at the Business.com
Website listed for American Classic Voyages:

the following:”

“Who is in charge of the company now?
The day-to-day operations during the transition period will be managed
by a seasoned group of four management professionals: David Simmons,
who will oversee the sales, marketing and hotel operations of Delta
Queen; Tom Carman, who will oversee the marine operations area; Craig
Keller who will oversee the human resource area and Nick Davison who
will oversee the finance, IT and purchasing side of the business.
These are individuals who made the Delta Queen brand successful in the
past and are committed to rebuilding its value going forward. In
addition, Jon Rusten, who heads AMCV’s development company, will
continue to oversee the company’s new ship construction team.”

“Phil Calian, CEO, Jordan Allen, General Counsel and Randy Talcott,
Vice President, Finance will remain in place to guide the company
strategically; however, it is too early in the reorganization process
to confirm the roles of the management team over the long term. Rod
McLeod, President and Chief Operating Officer, will be leaving the
company.”
