the french line ne demek?

The French Line, or Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT), was a French shipping company that operated ocean liners and cargo ships between France and various destinations around the world from 1855 to 1974. The company was founded by Jacques Lebaudy and was initially focused on developing trade between France and the Levant region of the Middle East.

Over the years, the company's fleet of luxury ocean liners became famous for their opulence and comfort, attracting wealthy passengers and celebrities. The most famous of these was the SS Normandie, which held the record for the fastest transatlantic crossing for over a decade and was considered one of the finest examples of Art Deco design.

During World War II, the CGT's fleet was used for military purposes and many of its ships were lost. After the war, the company rebuilt its fleet and continued to operate until 1974, when it was nationalized by the French government and merged with other transport companies to form the Société Nationale Maritime Corse-Méditerranée (SNCM). Today, the CGT's legacy is celebrated in the French Line Museum in Le Havre, France, which displays artifacts and memorabilia from the company's history.
