  6. Normandie, bridge wing

  7. Workspace 1

    Bridge of Normandie. Spacious , I would say - it probably would take a strong voice to give audible orders to the helmsman from the outer ends of this bridge.
  8. QE and Normandie

    Queen Elizabeth and Normandie are seen docked side-by-side in New York at piers 91, and 88 respectively. Based on an earlier color view, the Normandie already appears to have her white superstructure painted grey, so I would assume the work would have taken place after the fall of France on 10...
  9. New York, 1940

    The superliner piers in New York are seen in this rare color view from September, 1940.

  13. Lafayette (Ex-Normandie)

    The remains of the Lafayette (ex Normandie) are towed down the Hudson River in November, 1943. The job of righting the ship, following her loss in February, 1942, was one of the largest and most expensive salvage jobs even undertaken; and in spite of the great effort to bring the ship to this...
  14. Normandie

    Ariel view of the Normandie, taken as the ship conducted her sea trials in May, 1935. The lack of water turbulence around her hull and at her bow, shows just how revolutionary Vladimir Yourkevitch’s hull design truly was.
