The COLOMBIE of 1931


When I think of the many forgotten passenger liners of the past, one of my favorites is the French Line's COLOMBIE (1931-1964). Of all the liners, the tropical ones have a special allure and I wish I could have done a round voyage from Le Havre to Martinique on the COLOMBIE. I had no such luck, but I can not blame it as I was able to see this ship several times in the early 1960, still in French Line colours and later as Typaldos ATLANTICA.
She was a very elegant small liner, and sometimes I can still see her alive alongside the pier of Funchal, Madeira island, the fantastic red funnel and her unique rounded lines...
