(FRENCH LINE.) "Normandie." Du 29 Mai au 12 Juin 1935. Voyage Inaugural de Normandie. Le Havre - New York - Le Havre. Official certificate given to maiden voyage passengers, this copy given to marcel olivier, gouverneur général of the french line, after the blue riband winning westward crossing to New York, 8 3/4x11 1/2 inches sight size; in a magnificent mat and frame. 1935
As President of the French Line, Marcel Olivier was an honored passenger on the maiden voyage of "Normandie." On the official First Class passenger list his name appears prominently before the regular alphabetical list of passengers. With the attention of the world focused on the maiden voyage of the glorious ship, Olivier was surely proud of the grand accomplishment of the ship which was built under his direction. Truly a choice piece of "Normandie" memorabilia. Accompanied by a photocopy of the first page of the passenger list.
