This interesting picture shows the wonderful feat of launching a large battleship in France. The monstrous sea lion is shown on the ways where everything is being made ready to give the signal to cut the ropes and let her slide gracefully into the water. She is cut loose and slides slowly down the ways amidst the cheers of the throng, dipping her keel into the water and floating for the first time.

Released in the US as a split reel along with A Grave Disappointment (1909) and Training Bulls for the Fight (1909).
