Set of 2 miniature replicas of ocean liners: 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. However, the Normandie's career was 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. Despite the brevity of its career (4 years), the Normandie left a deep mark on universal memory. It is considered the most successful liner in history. ------ The RMS Queen Mary, nicknamed the Old Lady, is a British transatlantic ocean liner of the Cunard Line named after Queen Mary of Teck. Built at the John Brown & Company shipyard in Scotland, the Queen Mary was launched in September 1934, and made her maiden voyage in May 1936. Today she is converted into a hotel-museum and permanently moored in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California.
