Welcome to the Fantastic World of Normandie

Liner s/s NORMANDIE

All the collections treating of the documents relating to s/s NORMANDIE will be approached there.
By document, it is necessary to understand :
"Any collector's item on paper or paperboard"

The creation of such a complete site on a such rich topic can be carried out only with time and patience....
To the wire of the months, many pages, new headings and new collections will come to enrich it.

My goal is to make of this site
THE IDEAL VIRTUAL COLLECTION
of the documents refearing to the liner s/s NORMANDIE.

You possess documents which seem to you absent from lists of this site, or in better quality than those presented.
You wish to take part in its construction by making known them and present them
- in an anonymous way, under a pseudonym or your name quite simply... -

You can send me by e.mail or mail copies of your documents,
I will present them in the corresponding database.
To do this, click here > "CONTACT".

Thus, we will develop together, with the wire of time,
THE LARGEST INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION OF THE DOCUMENTS OF
Liner NORMANDIE

I wish you an excellent visit .....
