Havighurst, Walter "Midnight Sailing"

Saturday Evening Post tag: “Possibly you will not think this is a story, since it has no hero or heroine. But if you have known the sea and understand a man’s love for his ship and his country, you will know this is a love story.” And a touching love story it is, that of an unnamed French mariner for his ship, the fabled NORMANDIE. Havighurst’s tale follows the NORMANDIE’s career, from her record-breaking maiden voyage to her tragic death by fire in New York harbor in 1942.
