In this photo the new crew members are operating the lifeboat mechanisms. No information has been given out by the Cunard white star line on the trip contemplated for the two giant liners. In the foreground is shown the S.S. Normandie sow of the French line. March 20, 1940. (Photo by Wide World Photo).
