SS Île de France: The French Line's Beloved Ship
The French Line launched the first new major ocean liner post-World War I. This ship would be the Ile de France and she would become extremely popular and stylish. The ship attained many accolades including Party Boat and Cheeriest Way to Cross the Atlantic. She participated in World War II, carrying hundreds of thousands of troops for the Allies. When she was withdrawn from service, she joined the ranks of RMS Queen Mary and RMS Mauretania as one of the world's most beloved and iconic transatlantic ocean liners.
