| Description | World War II cartoon shows John Bull, as a boy saying "I want that big one!" as he points to a Christmas tree hung with ships with a large ship labeled "Normandie" at the top. Uncle Sam, dressed as Santa Claus, stands alongside the tree. After Hitler invaded France and drove the British armies out of Europe, President Roosevelt agreed to trade 50 old destroyers for leases on British military bases in the Caribbean. The Normandie was a French ocean liner that took refuge in New York Harbor at the beginning of the war. Berryman suggests that the British hoped to include the Normandie as part of the destroyer deal. The Normandie remained at dock until February 1942 when it was accidentally destroyed by fire. |
