EDITORS COMMENTS
Princess Alexandra, a symbol of grace and regality, bestows her royal touch upon the grand launch of the magnificent ship Waikato at Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. This black-and-white print captures a moment frozen in time on 22nd February 1965, showcasing the union between British royalty and industrial prowess. In this historic snapshot, Princess Alexandra stands tall alongside Managing Director Dr. Denis Rebbeck, radiating elegance as she christens the vessel with her presence. The shipyard's bustling atmosphere serves as a backdrop to this remarkable event that marked an era of innovation and progress within the maritime industry. Lady Ogilvy's visit to Belfast not only celebrated the completion of Waikato but also highlighted her unwavering support for British industries during the transformative 1960s. Her presence brought a sense of prestige and honor to all those involved in crafting this engineering marvel. Alfred Markey's expertly captured photograph transports us back to an age when ships were more than just vessels; they were symbols of national pride and ambition. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us of our rich industrial heritage while paying homage to Princess Alexandra's enduring commitment to serving her nation. This stunning print from Memory Lane Prints is not merely a picture; it encapsulates history itself – an emblematic representation of unity between royalty, industry, and progress.
