Ship launching is the process of transferring a vessel to the water. It is a naval tradition in many cultures, dating back thousands of years. It has been observed as a public celebration and a solemn blessing.
In addition to the size and weight of the vessel, ship launching imposes stresses on the ship not met during normal operation, and represents a considerable engineering challenge, in addition to a public spectacle.
One of the most exciting ship launching methods used for the newly built ships is the "side launching" or "sideways launching". People love to watch the amazing “splash” created by the side launches.
