Part 8 sees the construction of the ships Funnels, vents and portholes.

Part 9 will focus on the the ships Lifeboats and other remaining details.

The SS Île de France was a French ocean liner that was built in Saint-Nazaire, France, for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (or CGT, also known as the "French Line"). The ship was christened in 1926, and commenced her maiden voyage on June 22, 1927. It was was the first major ocean liner built after the conclusion of World War I, and was the first liner ever to be decorated almost entirely with modern designs associated with the Art Deco style. She was neither the largest ship nor the fastest, but was considered the most beautifully decorated ship built by CGT being the favored ship of the pre-World War II era, carrying young, wealthy, and fashionable Americans to Europe and back.

Ironically, all of the luxious fittings were stripped out so that the ship could hold prisoners during World War II. Another claim to fame came in 1956, when the Île de France helped to rescue 750 passengers from the infamous collision of the Andrea Doria and the Stockholm. Her last hurrah came just before she was scrapped in 1959, "starring" in the movie The Last Voyage as a doomed ocean liner, and actually being partially sunk, while scenes were being filmed with actors playing their parts in the flooded ship. She was subsequently refloated, and taken to Japan to be scrapped. The movie was released in 1960.
