Heavy rain was falling when the 34, 000 ton Cunard - White Star Liner Caronia largest

Heavy rain was falling when the 34, 000 ton Cunard - White Star Liner " Caronia" largest ship now building in the world, was launched at John Browns Clydebank shipyard today by Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth, who was accompanied by her fiance, Lt. Philip Mountbatten, R. N. They were afforded a tumultuous welcome by thousands lining the route as they drove to the yard. The new vessel is 714 feet long, has nine decks, and will be fitted with radar. Clipper-bowed and single-funnelled, the Caronia will form, with the Mauritania, a second string for the two " Queens" on the North Atlantic route. The ?3 million ship will become an important dollar earner for Britain.
Picture shows: Princess Elizabeth and Lt Mountbatten, with Cunard White Star officials and distinguished guests on the launching platform at Clydebank today (Thursday).
