A slightly distant bow view of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company liquified gas carrier Gazana (1972) during her launch from the Cammell Laird building slip at Birkenhead. The photographer is looking down the ways while many shipyard workers and their guests look on from the sides of the berth. No drag chains are being used and the hull is almost completely immersed. Transparencies numbers P63771CT to P63774CT were taken on the same occasion.
