DescriptionThe three largest ships in the world, New York, 1940 - photographic postcard (3796186285).jpg
English: Note: The three largest ships in the world, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary and Normandie, together only once. The plan was for them to all be made into troopships. Unfortunately the Normandie was destroyed at her wharf when she caught fire. A brilliant plan to open the seacocks and sink her to the bottom of the Hudson was ignored and she capsized with all the water pumped into the superstructure.
Format: Photomechanical postcard
