Nice bi-lingual first class deck plan for the lovely ship. There is a little bit of wrinkle to the pages as shown … but it does not appear to be water damage. Great colored coded plans and pictures inside. Approx 1966.

Awesome booklet brochure showing the interiors of the French flagship in color photos as well as French and English descriptions. There is a lovely centerfold gulls eye view of the liner streaming through the seas. the last page is a nice general profile cut away of the ship.

Out of print and certainly one of the Best Normandie books you can own … excellent references and photographs … you can’t beat this one for it’s detail and quality. In Great shape .. the prior owner added a super plastic dustcover protector. Some Color and a full ship cutaway.

Covers all classes for the SS France for her second year of service. Awesome tricolor funnel graphics

Lovely deck of blue trimmed cards for the SS France. Probably bought onboard. All there and in great condition.

Lovely deck of red trimmed cards for the SS France. Probably bought onboard. All there and in great condition.

The FRANCE certainly was not packed … but there were a good number of Fist class passengers on this crossing. She would not be in service much longer for the French

First class passenger list for the lovely Liberte … This would have probably been a rough crossing … and certainly frigid. Rebuilt formt he German recordbreaker Europa Post WW2, she was never really pushed by the French for speed …only a few months later the SSUS raced accross the Atlantic and captured the speed record forever.

Excellent deckplan for the last lovely French lady. This is a mini deck plan… in excellent shape … probably was never opened. Awesome cover funnel graphic.

Excellent condition Aug 1959 sailing schedule for the French Line. the only 2 ships on the North Atlantic run were the Liberte and Flandre… the Ile had been retired and was on her way to Japan and immortality on screen in the Movie “The Last Voyage” .. The Last France was still at the builders yard.

ALL programs for the cruise are here in this 16 volume set! The first program covers the first 2 days of the cruise .. and the last printed program on March 2rd was the day before she arrived back in NYC. You just can’t beat this set of info telling of all the events on the wonderful cruise! The title block graphics are colorful and well done and the events are just astounding! All is excellent shape.. with a few minor wrinkles and bumps.

Lovely dinner menu for the mighty SS France .. only a few months later she would be pulled out of service and laid up in the backwaters of Le Harve. She would sit in the back waters until 1979 when she was bought by NCL and started her life as the “biggest week in the world” cruising the Caribbean as the famed Norway. The menu has a lovely embossed profile of the ship and is in great condition!

Lovely English printed list of art treasures onboard the ship. These are printed on a heavy paper folder (much line a menu) and the list covers many of the treasures you would find onboard in public spaces an suites. Wonderful item with minor scuffs to the cover.

Cool Red ribbon souvenir ribbon for the SS France. These were popular items always available for purchase , but also at times given to passengers for special awards and or events. These were available in a wide range of colors .. this one is Red and in pristine condition!

The France would have been on the Atlantic 5 years when this fine DP was printed.  The glossy stock is nice and the text is in both French and English. And there is a Walnut Creek, CA travel agency stamp. The DP is in great shape!

Really cool interior photograph of the Grand Stairway/ embarkation hall of the lovely SS Paris. This room as shown was the later remodeled version, which was more Art deco is flavor and furnishings.  The poor Paris had a few different fires … and Her career was ended by an enormous blaze before WW2 erupted. The gold n silver painted wooden frame has a few nicks and scrapes … but it is a wonderful and unique item! Pretty sure this is a modern print that had been framed … framing dated in1998.

Nice early framed print of the Norway done by marine artist James Flood. Certainly done before the suites were added topside … and the ship’s good “French” looks and superb lines were a bit compromised. The Norway arrived at Alang named “Blue Lady” and was cut up for scrap metal to fuel India’s growing economy. The print is in great shape .. a few nicks to the frame. *** shipping calculator may not be correct, I should quote***

GRAND agency print the for French line Normandie by Sebille. Nothing the French did for the Normandie was ever “modest” … this Agency print is no exception. The ship is powerfully racing along the high seas … cutting through huge waves like a hunting knife through warm butter. Sebille did many marine paintings for the French line … I just love his Ile de France interwar print. The nice little brass Nameplate under the ship .. it appears a French Line nameplate may have hung at the top of the frame at one point. The frame has the typical scratches n such. ***shiping calculator may not be correct ..I amy need to quote shipping***

A favored souvenir item for all French lines ships were these commemorative medallions… the onboard gift shops were loaded with them! The casting details on this one is just marvelous, one side is the liner Flandre in profile, the other side is “Flandre” as a personified female figure. This one is in great shape … just no longer has the round “pillbox” container it would have come in when purchased. Just found this one in a drawer this past week.

It was a very special occasion with momentous celebration when the Norway visits Le Havre in 1996… this was her first time in her old home port since 1979. The French never wanted to give her up in the first place… but the Norwegians certainly gave her a long extended life as the Norway. … and always used the prestige of her storied past in their brochures. This is an original panoramic photo…artist signed.

Interesting deck of French Line cards .. sets of 8 cards .. Nine’s through aces. Not sure what cad game this would have been for … nothing I ever played before. They sems to be well used … I”m sure they provided lots of entertainment! Also comes with the well worn box!

Nice stainless steel spoon from a NDL ship with a stamped key and anchor logo. Probably from the 60’s or 70’s. typical use and scullery wear and tear!
