Normandie

NAUCLER · Apr 12, 2014

This is actually not a photo of the TS/E NORMANDIE - it is the burnt out hulk of the U.S.S. LAFAYETTE ! She was renamed -as I recall it- already in the beginning of the war in 1939-1940 when laid up in New York.

This must have been a strange experience for those crew on board.

Great posting .... we dont usually see a close up of the stern showing detail such as this ..... very interesting design, quite different from the other vessels of the day.

Terribly sad end for the best ship of her era.
Regards to all,
