Post subject:  "The France Must Be Saved," says Le Figaro

The Paris newspaper, Le Figaro, has an article about the impending demise of the SS Norway nee France. The article, the cover story in its weekend magazine calls the ship a French cultural monument on a par with the Eiffel Tower. According to the article a group of preservationists in and around its birthplace, St. Nazaire is pressuring the government to step in.

I have no idea how this will play out. But I am glad to know that someone in France cares about their greatest ocean liner. I hope it is not too late.

For those of you who would like to read the article in French, here is the link.http://www.lefigaro.fr/magazine/20050304.MAG0005.html
