NORMANDIE: 1935 - Tourist Class isometric deck plan w/ interiors from '36
French Line: A Tourist Class deck plan dated April 1936 done up in the superb isometric style for the NORMANDIE. Rarely does Tourist Class get honored with deluxe plans, but for the NORMANDIE they were rendered in the same glorious isometric style as First Class. The booklet stretches open to 44" with twelve pages. Eight decks are shown in color-coded detailed - Sun, Boat, Promenade, Main, A, B, C, and D. Be sure to note the newly-added Cafe Terrace and Grand Salon on Boat Deck. It replaced the former First Class Promenade with the famed zig-zag benches when the original Tourist Class Grand Salon proved inadequate. Cabins filled the stern area on A, B, C, and D decks where they took the full-brunt of NORMANDIE propeller vibrations, so much so that many were deemed inhabitable on the ship's maiden voyage. The Dining Room, in the shape of an "I", has numbered tables just like in First Class. With my luck I'd be assigned either table 75 or 76, shoved into far corners like time
