Interesting to watch. Launching it off the barge is amazing.

Of course the 12 year old in me had a giggle at the end.

Amazing to watch all that steel get slid off the barge, I do like to watch a bit of heavy engineering.

I reckon your inner 12 year old and mine must be mates, because I had a laugh at it too...:haha:

I used to love watching the larger vessels being launched on my home river during the days when ships were still built on the Tyne.

Below are photos of Esso Nortumbria...she was so big she hit the opposite river bank when launched.

A lot of hard work went into that.
