Ocean Liner Launched (1917)

Ocean liner launched . Boats and ships. Launching of a big ocean liner; ca. 1917. Cool shots looking up at ship’s hull as it moves past to left. After it passes a wild looking shot of a bunch of poles sticking up - vertical but at slightly different angles; and some with small horizontal bars crossing; and a crane in BG. Weird shipyard stuff. Another shot of ship - or parts of it - CUs emphasise hugeness. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
