@CaptainSmith23 Well the Olympic did that before the Titanic. Normandie was the first to reach over 1000ft, the first to go faster than 30 knots, the first to have totally uncluttered decks, the first to have a radar, the first to have a modern hydrodynamic hull, the first to have anti-fire measures (sadly the american didn't know how to use them or something didn't work i don't remember), and many other breakthrough...

@Hdz300 The ship had been seized by the United States in 1941 when America entered the war. It was being held in New York Harbor, where it was being converted into a troop vessel. To that end, a large stack of highly flammable life jackets had been piled in a corner temporarily while cabins were turned into dormitories for soldiers. A fire broke out and in the attempt to extinguish the blaze, the ship capsized due to the vast amount of water poured onto her. She was scrapped afterwards.

If anything, Normandie was TOO beautiful. She was never as popular as Queen Mary because Normandie was like a floating art gallery that overwelmed the passengers, whereas Queen Mary was more traditional and felt like a home to the passengers. It's a disgrace what happened to Normandie. To think such a revolutionary, innovative, and dazzling vessel was destroyed due to sheer stupidity breaks the heart.
