Crafted Model of SS Antilles Cruise Liner, Miniature Wooden Ship, Hand Made Museum Quality Models - About SS France. A French ocean liner which sailed for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (French Line). Laid down in February 1909, the new liner was to be a marvel of French engineering. Not only would she be over twice the size of any ship in the French merchant fleet, she would be that nation's first quadruple-screw liner, as well as their first four funneled liner.
