January 3, 1933, exactly 82 years ago, the French fell victim to the fire ocean liner"L" Atlantique. Launched in 1930 and with a tonnage of 40,945 gross tonnes, she was the 3rd largest in France and 12th in the world, intended for port operations. east coast South America(sailed from French Bordeaux to Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Montevideo and Buenos Aires) and until the appearance in the late 1950s of the liners Oriana and Canberra This was the largest passenger ship operating on non-North Atlantic lines.

But "L" Atlantique "is equal like another famous French liner of the 1930s, SS "Normandie" - not long plowed the vastness of the Atlantic.

The charred wreck of the ship was later transported to Cherbourg, where this once super-luxurious liner was scrapped.
It was not possible to find out the cause of the fire. According to one version
the steamer was destroyed by competitors - then British, Italian and German shipping companies fought fiercely for dominance on the European-South American route, and the appearance of a fourth strong rival, and even in the midst of the Great Depression, none of them wanted. According to another versionthe ship was burned by the owner himself, who received insurance for it in 170 million francs: this slow-moving giant did not have commercial success, and the insurance premium allowed the company that owned the ship "Compagnie de Navigation Sude Atlantique"avoid bankruptcy. Either way, the mystery of doom"L" Atlantique "remained unsolved.
