The liner Normandie

The liner Normandie the pride of the French maritime fleet in the massive dry dock in St Nazaire before the war. In the foreground is the winding shed with the long water-filled camber linking it to the outer caisson of the dock. The dock was opeened by pulling the caisson on its rollers back into the camber. Immediately behind the camber is the pumping house. The dry dock also served as a lock linking the Penhoet Basin with the River Loire.
