Fascinating Cruise Ship ‘Keel Laying’ ceremony
I’ve always found this fascinating.
Keel laying is a pivotal moment in the construction of a cruise ship, marking the official start of its assembly in the shipyard. This ceremony involves placing the first section of the ship’s keel, the backbone of the vessel, into the dry dock. Often considered a ship’s “birth,” the keel laying sets the foundation for the rest of the ship’s structure to be built upon. It’s a tradition that symbolizes the transition from design to reality, celebrated by shipbuilders and maritime enthusiasts alike.
Once built this is where the most amazing people embark on a wonderful journey!
