Ship-Normandie
Three transatlantic liners Normandie, Roma and Queen Mary are seen in New-York harbour, 12 September 1939. The Normandie was built in Saint-Nazaire for Compagnie Gnrale Transatlantique and launched 29 October 1932. It was the largest and fastest ship in the world and many considered it the greatest of all ocean liners. In 1942, while being converted to a troopship during World War II, Normandie caught fire, capsized, and sank in New-York harbour. Although she was salvaged at great expense, restoration was deemed too costly, and she was scrapped in October 1946. (Photo by - / AFP)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in New York Harbor on 12 September 1939. Three majestic transatlantic liners, the Normandie, Roma, and Queen Mary, stand tall against the backdrop of the bustling port. Among them, the Normandie steals the spotlight as it proudly showcases its grandeur and elegance. Built in Saint-Nazaire for Compagnie Générale Transatlantique and launched on 29 October 1932, the Normandie quickly earned its reputation as both the largest and fastest ship in the world. Many regarded it as an unrivaled masterpiece among ocean liners of its time. However, tragedy struck during World War II when this magnificent vessel was being converted into a troopship. In 1942, a devastating fire engulfed the Normandie while docked in New York Harbor causing it to capsize and sink. Despite extensive salvage efforts at great expense, restoration proved too costly. Ultimately, in October 1946, this once-glorious ship met its fate at a scrapyard. The image serves as a poignant reminder of both triumphs and tragedies that befell these iconic vessels throughout history. It encapsulates their significance not only as symbols of luxury travel but also as witnesses to global events that shaped our world. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, we are transported back to an era where these mighty ships ruled over vast oceans with grace and splendor - forever etched into maritime lore.
