The Incredible Story of the SS Île de France
The SS Île de France launched on March 14th, 1926 was one of the most successful ocean liners to ever sail the Atlantic. Her luxury and glamour kept her popular even through the depths of the Great Depression. Over the course of her over 30-year career she hosted numerous celebrities, played a critical role in World War 2, rescued 753 passengers from the sinking Andrea Doria, and starred in a cheesy action film called the last voyage. She was truly one of a kind.
