Launch of Submarine Porpoise
30 Aug 1932
View from the slipways after launch. The submarine is stationary in the channel with tug Cartmel about to tow her south. Rowing boats collecting the launch timbers. Two pairs of older girls and a pair of boys standing on the shore - One of the girls is perhaps taking a photo. The Sankey Cash Book and Catalogue incorrectly title this as: Launch of 2 Submarines
