Bruce and Jean Mountjoy travelled to Collingwood on Tuesday to watch the launching of the 'Prairie Harvest" the largest ship ever built in Collingwood shipyards. Collingwood is the only shipyard in Canada to still launch by the age old side-slip method.

Any apprehension about a hundred mile trip to see a ten second splash was soon dispell- ed when twelve thousand other thrill seekers including several busloads from across the border arrived. They felt as one lad-wearing a lapel pin of the Society for the Preservation of the side- slip launch said, "I wouldn't have missed it; for the world."
