Remembering the life of the S.S. Normandie, truly the most luxurious ship ever built. At 1,029 ft long, and 83,400 tons, she competed against the R.M.S. Queen Mary for the title of the worlds largest, fastest, and most luxurious vessel afloat.

Lyrics:
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night time
to last for a life-time
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you…

The fact that it looked so modern like a cruise ship

[@chrisi06]

It looks better than today's cruise ships, today's ships look modern but Normandie looked futuristic.

[@V1NCENTZGOLD]

Sadly she was gonna get a refit, but she capsized over night while on fire :(

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

It’s just tragic as she could’ve still been saved had they listed to Vladimir Yourkevitch who happened to be in New York at the time

[@rmsolympic2591]

Very good video

[@LittleTimmy141]

Most goofy funnels in a ship i have ever seen💀

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

Normandie’s funnels were tear drop shaped to reduce drag. The goal was also to provide a distinctive and elegant appearance. To me they weren’t goofy, but i’d say there are certainly more goofy funnel designs out there😂

[@IZAQ_]

I mean true, but TBH the whole ship just looks very wide

[@joetrynosky4136]

I don’t think the normandie is the most luxury ship right now I think the most is the icon of the seas

[@StrategicChicken]

Do your research before making stupid comments.

You're not a fan of the ship
