Topical Press Photo LAUNCHING IN SCOTLAND. —Pomp, formality, and similar stately happenings seemingly required in the launching of a vessel are, judging from this picture, of no account at Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where they apparently just throw them in. This motor-boat, the Dundarg, 69ft. long, was launched on August 18 by the simple method of towing it to the pier-head by traction engine and then toppling it over into the water. The result was the same.
