The largest ship ever built in Europe, the tanker "Myrina", is launched in Belfast. Momentarily aground because of tricky winds, she's freed almost immediately. She measures 1,050 feet long, 191,000 tons! The tanker slowly comes free from a dry dock ramp and enters the water. The camera tilts upward from its' base to show the ship's size. Tugs pull on the ships ropes in a harbor.
