UNITED STATES - OCTOBER 01: The French transatlantic ocean liner SS Normandie arriving in New York harbor. The ship was launched in 1932 from Saint-Nazaire by the Transatlantic General Company (Compagnie Generale Transatlantique). It was at that time the biggest ship in the world, 313 meters long. Beginning in 1935, it was also one of the fastest on the Le Havre-New York line. It was requisitioned in 1941 by the Americans for transporting troops to Europe after the United States entered the war. It was destroyed by fire in the New York harbor in 1942.
