SS Normandie Part 2 of 3 The Greatest liner.CGT New York

This ship is the stuff of movies. And the first class passengers... so austere! People don't act like that anymore.

Very cool footage!

The hotel originally opened on October 10, 1942. Its design was inspired by the ocean liner SS Normandie. It features the same art deco design as the ship that inspired it, and the hotel's roof sign is one of the two signs that adorned the top deck of the Normandie but were removed from it during an early refitting. It is a fine example of what came to be known as the Streamline Moderne architecture style.
The Normandie Hotel is in San Juan , Puerto Rico . Come and visit.

The most beautiful liner ever built.

it is a beautiful ship but its not the most beautiful i Still think the Olympic Class Liners were the most beautiful they also changed the world drasticly in many ways.

That is a total crock, I'm sorry. The LUSITANIA/MAURETANIA preceeded the OLYMPIC by 5 years. They were faster and had far more advanced hull designs. They also had double skins which would have spared them the fate of the TITANIC. THEY changed the world in that era. The OLYMPIC class were larger, more luxurious and more stable, but they were wildly outdone by the German IMPERATOR class ships of 1913+ and the glorious AQUITANIA of 1914.

The Normandie was not only the most beautiful liner of all time but her hull design was so far superior; (even to the Queen Mary.) She was longer in the midsection that other liners which allowed for better structural rigidity. THIS FILM was wonderful; what a loss to the world when Normandie did not survive. There will never be a ship like her again .

they should make a NARMANDIE 2 and make shore the yanks put in for it

just a great video of this huge powerfull ship

I am mind blown by this footage. its truely amazing to get a glimpse of the Normandie in color footage.

Fantastic
