...area was to floods and low water. The water level has at last been controlled by a network of locks, dams and reservoirs. The Normandie, 300 ft. long and weighing 1,375 tons, was especially built for the voyage. With 53 double staterooms, lounge, bar, restaurant, sun deck and sauna, it carried 106 passengers, 20 crew members and pounds of monkfish, duck, pork and other essentials, replenished along...
