FNSK 1936

S.S. Normandie

The SS Normandie build in 1935 to compete with the Queen Mary was a French passenger ship. She was the largest and fastest ship afloat.
During the second world war she was seized by the USA and was being converted to a troop ship when she caught fire  in New York harbor.
While fighting the fire, a lot of water was thrown on her super structure and became top heavy and capsized.
In 1946 she was scrapped.
