Part 9 of my video tutorial on how to build the French Liner SS Normandie in Minecraft. Part 9 sees the construction of the ships Rudder, Propellers, Masts, Cargo hatches, Forecastle details, pool and window placements. Part 10 will focus on the Normandie name badge, Crows nest life boats and other smaller details. SS Normandie was an ocean liner built in Saint-Nazaire, France, for the French Line Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT). She entered service in 1935 as the largest and fastest passenger ship afloat; she is still the most powerful steam turbo-electric-propelled passenger ship ever built. Her novel design and lavish interiors led many to consider her the greatest of ocean liners, Despite this, she was not a commercial success and relied partly on government subsidy to operate. During service as the flagship of the CGT, she made 139 westbound transatlantic crossings from her home port of Le Havre to New York. Normandie held the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing at several points during her service career, during which RMS Queen Mary was her main rival. During World War II, Normandie was seized by U.S. authorities at New York and renamed USS Lafayette. In 1942, the liner caught fire while being converted to a troopship, capsized onto her port side and came to rest on the mud of the Hudson River at Pier 88, the site of the current New York Passenger Ship Terminal. Although salvaged at great expense, restoration was deemed too costly and she was scrapped in October 1946 (Like the Titanic and other ships i have made, When the tutorial is over this ship will be sunk in "From the Depths") Thanks for Watching Richlarrousse 2017
