Chapter 3 also critiques the export of terrestrial structures of empire, this time onboard liners traveling between Europe and the Netherlands East Indies. The two largest Dutch shipping companies, Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland and Rotterdamsche Lloyd, encouraged European passengers to transition from the disparate identities of the metropole into a consenting and unified group while at sea. Europeans were able to practice their impending terrestrial roles through interactions with the ship’s Indonesian staff of stewards and nannies and “viewing” other non-European travelers in the third class. Segregation was essential in establishing and maintaining imperial norms around race, class, and gender onboard, but many passengers and crewmembers transgressed such norms by disobeying rules and mixing with others indiscriminately while at sea. Once in the Netherlands East Indies, some European passengers continued on to the Koninklijke Paketvaart Maatschappij’s recently introduced pleasure cruises, encouraging a European gaze over an exoticized colonial landscape and population, further instilling a cohesive dominant identity among European travelers.
