SS Normandie

SS Normandie was a French ocean liner launched in 1932, renowned for its luxurious design and advanced technology. It was one of the largest and fastest passenger ships of its time, catering to wealthy travelers crossing the Atlantic. With Art Deco interiors crafted by leading designers, it symbolized the elegance of the era. However, its service was cut short during World War II, when it was seized by the U.S. Navy and tragically caught fire while being converted for military use in 1942, leading to its loss. Normandie remains a symbol of maritime innovation and luxury.
