Atlantic Normandie Packet Steam Ships 1935

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and power of the NORMANDIE, a French steam ship that was once the world's largest submarine before World War Two. Surcouf, as she was known, boasted an impressive range of 19,000 km and could carry 80 days worth of supplies for long journeys away from base. The sheer size and capabilities of this vessel were truly remarkable for its time. In this image, we see the NORMANDIE in all her glory as she sails through the Atlantic waters in 1935. A symbol of French maritime history and innovation, this packet boat represents a bygone era when steam ships ruled the seas. Tragically, despite her impressive features and storied past, the NORMANDIE would meet a heartbreaking fate in 1942 when she was lost at sea. Her untimely demise serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by those who dared to explore the vast unknowns of our oceans. As we gaze upon this historical photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back in time to an age when vessels like the NORMANDIE reigned supreme on the high seas. It is a poignant reminder of both humanity's triumphs and tragedies in our quest for exploration and discovery.
