SS Liberte Arrives in New York Harbor 1950

The video discusses the history and transformation of the Liberte, a luxury liner originally from France. Once a German merchant ship, it was seized by the US during WWII and later awarded to France as war reparations. The Liberte underwent extensive remodeling, costing nearly as much as its original construction. It served as a troop ship in 1945, bringing soldiers home. Today, it stands as a modern marvel, being one of the largest and most luxurious liners afloat.
