SS Norway is a former transatlantic liner that was later converted into a cruise ship. She was commissioned on July 25, 1956, by the French shipping company Compagnie Generale Transatlantique as “France” and was built at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in St. Nazaire.
After an inaugural cruise, the ship entered service on the North Atlantic route between Le Havre and New York City from February 3, 1962. After being sold, the ship was converted into a cruise ship in 1979 and renamed “Norway”.
In May 2003, a serious boiler explosion occurred, after which Norway, also known as “Blue Lady”, was abandoned. Due to environmental concerns and several court proceedings, Norway was not scrapped until 2008 in Alang, India.

The ship model shown is a scale replica of the Le France.
This model was made 100% by hand and with precision using traditional frame construction with hull planking.
Exotic fine woods such as teak, mahogany, rosewood or mango are used, among others, resulting in a valuable and decorative premium model as the finished product.
After completion, the hull is carefully sanded and painted where intended. The model is then coated with a protective clear varnish.
Ornaments and decorative details (e.g. cannons, portholes, anchors, dials and wheels …) are made of brass, chrome or other high-quality metals.
The sails are made of fabric or silk, the masts of wood, and the rigging of sturdy cotton threads. Some of these ropes have special knots that allow the ropes to be tightened at any time.
Our models undergo strict quality control so that we can offer you a flawless product. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority. All models are delivered fully assembled.
