J'ai remarqué sur le forum de construction de la maquette Hachette paquebot France des questions concernant 3 orifices situés en dessous de la passerelle de navigation et au dessus des sabords de la façade avant.. Ils sont présents sur s/s France et sur s/s Norway...
Ces trous m'intriguaient depuis longtemps lorsque je suis monté à bord du s/s Norway en 1999...
I noticed on the forum of construction of the "model Hachette passenger ship France" numerous questions concerning 3 openings situated below the bridge of navigation and above the windows of the facade.. They are present on s/s France and on s/s Norway...
These holes intrigued me for a long time when I came aboard the s/s Norway in 1999...

Ma surprise aura été de constater qu'il ne s'agit que de simples trous d'évacuation d'eau... Où étaient l'origine de ces 3 orifices??
Je ne sais pas le dire.. Est ce que cela correspondait à l'évacuation de l'eau de la fenêtre de la passerelle muni d'un essuie-glace et qui pouvait s'escamoter dans la paroi?? Est ce que cela venait du toit de la passerelle ?? Des fenêtres avec essuie glace gyroscopiques?? Du plancher des ailerons de navigation??
Ces orifices étaient présents sur le s/s France comme sur le s/s Norway... En 1999 comme en 2003 il y avait de la rouille à chaque orifice car l'eau y stagnait..
Sur un navire : on gratte toujours la rouille et on repeint toujours... L'eau s'infiltre partout..
My surprise was to discover that it is only simple holes of evacuation of water... Where were the origin of these 3 openings??
Is that in correspondence to the evacuation of the water of the window of the bridge provided with a windscreen wiper and which could open down in the wall?? Is thatcoming from the roof of the bridge?? Windows with windscreen wiper gyroscopic?? From the floor of the bridge wings??
These openings were present on the s/s France as on the s/s Norway... In 1999 as in 2003 there was some rust in every opening because the water stagnated there..
On a ship: we always scratch the rust and we always repaint... The water infiltrates everywhere..
