S.S. Normandie: The Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built (Sleeping Sun)

Remembering the life of the S.S. Normandie, truly the most luxurious ship ever built. At 1,029 ft long, and 83,400 tons, she competed against the R.M.S. Queen Mary for the title of the worlds largest, fastest, and most luxurious vessel afloat. #normandie #ship #oceanliner #ww2 #france . . .
