  • TLF: "I also saw a very recent arrival in port, the (then) new “Queen Elizabeth” [sic!] in her wartime battleship-gray paint; next in dock was the “Normandie”, still in her peacetime livery. A cordon of grim-faced policemen kept the sightseers at a distance. ... There had been threats of sabotage, and less than 18 months later the “Normandie” burned and sank ... a victim of “fifth columnists." [205]
