The SS Normandie was a French ocean liner built in Saint-Nazaire, France, for the French Line Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT). She entered service in 1935 as the largest and fastest passenger ship afloat, crossing the Atlantic in a record days, and remains the most powerful steam turbo-electric-propelled passenger ship ever built Also In this gallery some of the finest ship models in the world tell the story of the Trans-Atlantic passenger ship travel from 1840 to the present. These models not only tell the story of nearly two centuries of ocean travel, but also represent the beauty of the shipbuilder’s art and craft. They are a compelling combination of infinite precision and craftsmanship.
