The TSS Normandie was one of the finest ocean liners ever produced - arguably
the grandest ever. Second in size only to the Queen Elizabeth, running mate
of the Queen Mary, the Normandie was created to represent the French nation
and all it had to offer to the world.
Revolutionary in design and appearance, it's shape has influenced industrial
design ever since. The TSS Normandie's hull was surprisingly designed not by
a Frenchman, but by a Russian immigrant by the name of Vladimir Yourkevitch
who was then toiling on a Renault assembly line.
The Normandie was also famous for his food as well. With flair his staff of
waiters and chefs made dining aboard him a once in a lifetime experience. For
the truly jaded, the TSS Normandie ocean liner also offered his own a la carte
Ritz-Carlton grill at the end of the main deck. This was reached by ascending
five landings of stairs and was the culmination of the Normandie's spellbinding
boulevard of rooms. But alas, this was not to last forever for the approaching
war was to cut her down in the prime of life. Sadly, the TSS Normandie burned
and capsized in New York harbor during the war as she was being converted into
the troopship Lafayette.
