I'm always amazed by ship launches and how it attracts crowds.. My first launches were in LaSeyne France when I was a kid, my dad was a welder in the ship yards there and always made sure I was there when they launched, air was filled with excitement.

The Red Guards of the Great Cultural Revolution circa 1970.

I miss this era when I was too young to understand what it was.
