August 09, 1937

THE NEW YORK TIMES, August 9, 1937

* Cunard liner SS Normandie

Near the bottom of the front page is a two column heading: "Normandie Tops Own Atlantic Speed Mark; Makes Eastward Crossing at 31.20 Knots". (see) First report coverage on the SS Normandie breaking it's own speed record for crossing the Atlantic Ocean . Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with 34 pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally nice.
