LAUNCHING BROCHURES

USS Atlanta (SSN 710) Launching BrochureBrochure commemorating the launching of the Los Angeles class submarine, the soon-to-be USS AUGUSTA (SSN 710).

The long and ancient history of christening and launching of ships has been preserved in the launching ceremonies of every Cold War submarine to take to the water. Well attended by senior Naval officers, corporate management and executives, and well-wishing families, friends, and other observers, these ceremonies have been captured in Launching brochures, pamphlets, and printing from associatied celebratory events to be presented here.

"On Tuesday the 21st, the Continental Frigate of thirty-two guns, built at this place...was Launched amidst the acclamation of many thousand spectators. She is esteemed by all those who are judges that have seen her, to be one of the compleatest ships ever built in America.

The unwearied diligence and care of the three Master-Builders...and the good order and industry of the Carpenters, deserve particular notice; scarcely a single instance of a person's being in liquor, or any difference among the men in the yard during the time of her building, every man with pleasure exerting himself to the utmost: and altho' the greatest care was taken that only the best of timber was used, and the work perform'd in a most masterly manner, the whole time from her raising to the day she launched did not exceed sixty working days, and what afforded a most pleasing view (which was manifest in the countenances of the Spectators) this noble fabrick was completely to her anchors in the main channel, in less than six minutes from the time she run, without the least hurt; and what is truly remarkable, not a single person met with the least accident in launching, tho' near five hundred men were employed in and about her when run off."

Robert McNamara. "History of Ship Christenings With Champagne"

This collection reperesents all Launching brochures entrusted to the Cold War Boats Association, and each boat's brochures are also displayed in the Logroom Archives of each boat site. More are being added every day as our collection grows.
