Original 1947 AP Wire Photo showing the final salvage of the famed French luxury liner SS Normandie at Port Newark, New Jersey. Dated October 6, 1947, the image captures workers watching as the last remaining 75-ton section of the ship's boiler room is lifted from the water after the once-grand liner burned, capsized at a New York pier in 1942, and was later dismantled for scrap. The original news caption is printed directly on the photograph. Photo measures approximately 6¾ x 9¼ inches. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
