How the Mona Lisa Crossed an Ocean to Die on an Indian Beach

Danger and national pride collide: a flagship built to prove a country still mattered carried the Mona Lisa across the Atlantic and later ended its life on a beach in Gujarat being torn apart for scrap - how did a vessel that never lost a passenger become a political corpse, and who was held accountable for the eight crew members killed in a boiler explosion?
In this episode, you will hear how France was conceived as a national statement, the lavish scale of her interiors and service, the Mona Lisa's transatlantic crossing in a climate-controlled case, and the chain of events from the 1973 oil crisis to the ship's retirement and final dismantling that left unanswered questions about responsibility and deception. What choices turned a symbol of engineering and culture into a contested wreck?
