The Noordam is stopped near Dover for four days

Description

As The Noordam travels through the English Channel on its way to Rotterdam, it is stopped once again. The ship sits off the coast of Dover for four days. The delegate's telegrams are censored, and no one is allowed to disembark. Ships from the British fleet, alongside ships from the fleets of neutral nations, including Spain, Norway, Greece, and the United States, surround The Noordam. As the women watch the date of the conference approach, their ship is finally allowed to proceed to the Netherlands.
