Then the leviathan Battleship is released by a touch of the Royal hand and gliding down the ways taking the water with fine effect. Immediately afterwards the film presents an extraordinary view of the ways, swarming crowds of excited people, both spectators and workmen rushing into the vacant space. At the conclusion we see Mr. T. Mitchell, Superintendent of Construction, H. M. Dockyards, Portsmouth, being congratulated by the King on the successful result of his labors which had thus given Britain the largest and most powerful warship in the world. Written by
