The Burning of the S S Normandie [2K 16mm scan]

On February 9th, 1942, the S.S. Normandie caught fire during work on converting it to a Naval vessel to be launched on February 14th, 1942, as the U.S.S. Lafayette. At 2:45am on the morning of the 10th, she capsized. Though attempts were made to salvage her, by October of 1945 the U.S. Navy struck her from their register. She was completely scrapped by the end of 1948. This dramatic, silent footage was released on 16mm film by the Castle Film company. Carlos Kleiber & Wiener Philharmoniker's performance of Schubert's Eighth Symphony accompanies this film.
