About MeThe launch of a ship is when it is given its name Usually this ceremony will not only include a blessing for the ship and the mariners who will serve aboard, but also the breaking of a bottle of champagne or other beverage on the hull. This image shows the naming and launch of the Godetia, a stern trawler built for Richard Irvin in 1972.
