Makes me think back to the launching of the DCL Dream and Fantasy. They were about as undramatic as possible; the drydock was slowly flooded over a period of several hours, and then the ships emerged stoicly from the barn with tug escort.
If you look closely, I'm somewhere in the crowd.
And the second one. Same yard, different hull:

I have witnessed only one ship being launched. It was a WWII Victory ship when I was on the shoulders of my Father when I was 2 years old. The only thing I remember was sitting on his shoulders and the bunches of bananas they used to grease the skids. Circa 1944.

No matter how many such photos I see, and despite having worked in a factory which produced "big" things, and despite having also worked at a shipyard in Germany which transformed raw steel into some of the largest cruise ships afloat, I still find myself unable to comprehend machinework at such a scale.
