Set of 3 replicas of ocean liners: The RMS Titanic is a British transatlantic liner that sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912 following a collision with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. Between 1,490 and 1,520 people died, making this event one of the greatest maritime disasters to have occurred in peacetime and the largest for its time. The eponymous film by James Cameron definitively sealed the TITANIC in the history of the 20th century. ----- The Normandie is a transatlantic liner of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, built by the Penhoët shipyards (now Chantiers de l'Atlantique) in Saint-Nazaire from 1931 and registered at the Port of Le Havre in 1935. When it entered commercial service, the Normandie was the largest ocean liner in the world. The Normandie's career was however interrupted by the Second World War. The liner was disarmed and remained docked in the port of New York. At the end of 1941, it was requisitioned by the United States and renamed USS Lafayette. It is considered the most successful liner in history. ------ The liner France is a former transatlantic liner built at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique, in Saint-Nazaire, where it was launched on May 11, 1960 in the presence of General de Gaulle. At 314 meters long, it was the longest liner ever built in the world throughout its period of activity. It thus remained the largest liner in the world for 42 years. A symbol of the prestige of Gaullist France, whose end of operation in France was symbolic of the crisis of the 1970s, it was nicknamed the "little brother of the Normandie" by the Chantiers de l'Atlantique.
