Liberté

 

(CGT: 1950-1961)

 

The Liberté was built in 1930 as the Europa (1) for Norddeutsche Lloyd of Bremen. She was awarded to France as reparation after WW2, and re-entered service as Liberté in 1950. She was withdrawn and broken up in 1961, prior to the arrival of the new France.

 

Official French Line cards are shown below.

 

 

 

 

Liberté's funnels were heightened in 1954, as shown on the following cards.
