Description
Author, historian and former CEO, Richard Rene Silvin explains why he considers the Normandie the ultimate liner, using pictures of the spectacular interiors and rarely seen glimpses of life aboard the short-lived floating palace. The glamorous story will lead up to the ship’s premature and heartbreaking end. Her brief, four year working life was tragically aborted in 1942 by a perfect storm of accidents while she was being converted into a troop ship during World War II.
Light brunch catered by the Breakers Hotel included. Registration requested by Feb 8.
