Samuel Kalb traveled from Tomaszow Lubelski (then Russia, now Poland) to America, and arrived on May 4, 1914. He came on the ship Noordam, sailing from Rotterdam. He was traveling with Moische Goldstein, age 17. Goldstein's last residence was Bilgoraj (which is near Tomaszow), and he was also born in Tomaszow. Both of them were going to stay with Moische's brother, Abram, at 300 Delancey St., NY, NY.
The Noordam was built for the Holland-America Line, in 1902. It carried 2,278 passengers, primarily immigrants to the US. It was laid up in 1927, and scrapped in 1928.
