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 ocean liner 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, SS Normandie burned and
capsized in New York harbor during the war as she was being converted into the
troopship Lafayette.

"Dear Melissa,
I received the US Constitution in perfect condition!
I have been working a solid hour carefully
removing her from the crating. I can honestly say,
I am now an expert in performing this tedious task.
I want to thank you and your company for meeting
and surpassing my expectations not only in the
quality of the model ship but in the Great Customer
Service provided to insure my complete satisfaction.
In this day an age this is a hell of an accomplishment.
Best regards,
Tom Quartararo"
"Aloha,
Just wanted you to know I got the ship last week....
in perfect condition I may add, and it now graces my
living room - a reminder of my trip to see the REAL
Wasa in Stockholm last summer. Thank you very much!
