FRANCE je t'aime, tu seras toujours là pres de moi. un mythe comme toi ne disparait jamais, ton regard fier, ta silhouette si gracieuse, ta puissance,ton histoire ne seront jamias égalés. Tu es ce que la France a fait de plus beau. Repose en paix grande dame des mers, le fric ne sauvera pas tout ces connards qui t'ont délaissaient. Qu'ils crèvent tous sans dignité aucune. Tu es dans mon coeur pour toujours.

She's already being torn into. The top two decks are gone, the mast is gone, there are roughly 16 holes in the hull, and the nose is cut off. It's a matter of months until the Norway is only memories.

You can see pics by Googling ssmaritime and SS Norway.

C'était au temps où la France valait encore quelque chose... le France... Concorde... ... Merci au Général de Gaulle... Grand homme... visionnaire... grandes réalisations... que de belles années... maintenant il ne reste plus rien de tout ça... le prestige a fichu le camp et fait place à la médiocrité... :-( On a eu de la chance nous autres qui avons bien connu ces merveilles du temps passé... pas si lointain en fait... les années 60... le passé était plus futuriste que le futur...

Really a splendid ship. Nothing to do with the floating shoeboxes they launch now.

I worked onboard her in her second life as S/S Norway. Check out the vidoes of her I have posted.

I know that this is more lika a commercial but it is incredible and even though it hasn't got sound, I think it makes it look even more like a memorial

My grandparents had been on the France/Norway countless times. It was my grandmother's favourite.
