The purse seiner, "Sea Rose" was launched from the ship builders' yards, located at 202 Highline Road, but the vessel would not be completed for another month; two and a half months had already been spent on building the fishing boat. View of unidentified woman who was chosen to sponsor the launching of "Sea Rose", she is holding the champagne bottle which will be used to christen the boat and a beautiful bouquet of roses (T. Times, 1/10/49, p. 5).
