The SS 'L'Atlantique' on fire, 1933, (1935). Creator: Unknown.
The SS 'L'Atlantique' on fire, 1933, (1935). 'L'Atlantique' caught fire off the coast of France on the way to be refitted. The crew abandoned ship, and 'L'Atlantique' was considered a total loss. She was insured by Lloyd's of London for almost £1,000,000. There was a long debate between the owners and insurers, eventually resulting in the payment of US$ million to Compagnie de Navigation Sud Atlantique for the loss. From "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures". [Odhams Press Ltd., London, 1935]
