Cradle to grave story of this magnificent ship denied by fate the chance to conquer the South American run. The S.S. PASTEUR was completed in 1939 for the French Cie. Sudatlantique, but never entered commercial service due to the outbreak of WWII. She was quite a luxurious and innovative ship, but was quickly converted into a troop ship and continued that role for France to the Far East until the late 1950s. North German Lloyd then bought the ship, converting her into their BREMEN. Later still she sailed for Chandris as the REGINA MAGNA, and sank in 1980 in the Indian Ocean. Includes hundreds of illustrations including deck plans with forty-eight pages of color photographs.
