Talk:SS Normandie

message: The article says the ship was seized under the right of Angary. Is there any information about when, after the war, the required payment was made to the owners? How much was it?

message: This page states that the max hp for the Normandie was 200,000 hp in this context the article states that she had the highest HP of any passenger liner. Should not have been been conditioned by the statement "... then built".  The SS United States has 240,000 of installed HP.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.3.244.57 (talk) 15:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Thank you to all for an excellent entry on Normandie's history.  I would like to suggest an external link to appear at the bottom of the Normandie page. The link includes numerous images of museum items from Normandie that appeared in a museum exhibit "Hommage au Normandie" at the French Consulate in New York City (that later travelled to Miami at the Bass Museum of Art) that was regarded by the New Yorker Magazine (August 3, 1992, page 25, link to article below) as "the largest concentration of Normandie relics and memorabilia ever assembled."  For the Ocean Liner Museum (now assimilated under South Street Seaport Museum) under John Maxtone Graham, marine historian and best-selling author, I served as the curator of this exhibit and culled these materials (nearly 200 artifacts) from museums and collectors internationally including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The images were originally shot on large 3 x 5 transparencies and have now been transferred for the first time into digital format.  Rare items from 1st Class service and furnishings on board Normandie are identified in these images along with manufacturers and leading artist and designers of the period also being noted.  The site is stabile and secure and not linked to any advertising, etc.  There are no copyright issues regarding the displayed items as all artifacts were photographed in a public location at the time with no restrictions on photography.  Names of lenders do not appear and remain protected.   I maintain the website and grant permission for a link to appear at Wikipedia under the SS Normandie (history) heading. 
Please follow this link to see images of artifacts contained in the exhibition (click on individual images or press "slideshow" and use the forward button found in lower right of screen to advance):

I trust you will find this informative and enjoyable as a visual link to Normandie's great works.  Best regards for continued development of this important page in Wikipedia.  - CharlesLibrary

thread_title:  External Link for additional Normandie research  

message: These two articles should be merged. The best reason? Numerous ships go through names changes but does each name get its own article? No.They are the same exact ship. Not to mention The Lafayette is only notable for a fire. A fire that can easily be included in the Normandie article. Not to mention the articles are already so similar. Discuss. --Shadow (talk) 16:26, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it is just a name change. That's not a valid reason not to merge it. --Shadow (talk) 04:05, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

text: There was no discussion. Only two other people commented, and neither one of you gave a valid reason as to why they shouldn't be merged. --Shadow (talk) 04:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, let me give you a good reason.  They are the same ship that played different roles after the name was changed.  Each one served their own eras with distinction. --Hourick (talk) 06:56, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It was renamed and caught on fire. That's not a good reason to keep them separated at all. The ship didn't even leave dock as the Lafayette until it went to be scrapped. It just sat there. That can easily go in the Normandie article. --Shadow (talk) 07:15, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

message: hi there.
the lettering for some of the pictures is overflowing into the main document.
I don't know how and don't have the time to fix but presume its a simple fix?
please fix this as it makes picture captions very hard to read!

message: The article does not seem entirely consistent, saying at various points:
* she was not a commercial success and relied partly on government subsidy to operate.
* her finances were such that she did not require government subsidies every year.
* Normandie did not require government subsidies in service

thread_title:  Apparent subsidy inconsistency 

message: The infobox says the ship is 35.9 m in beam, and references a Lloyd's report that no longer exists at the stated URL. I've seen the same figure elsewhere online, but I've also seen 36.4 m. This would be worth clearing up. Normandie was either wider than Queen Mary or it wasn't; it certainly *looks* beamier, but I know that isn't a reliable source.
