United States Senator Warren Magnuson, second from left, during a launching ceremony at Tacoma Boat Building Co. Jermaine Magnuson, holding a bouquet of long stemmed roses, was the ship's sponsor. She reportedly needed three swings of the traditional champagne bottle before the ship could be properly christened. Standing with the Magnusons are matron of honor Mrs. Donald Garrison, flower girl Leslie Garrison and an unidentified man. The 100-ton surface effect ship, the SES-100A, was christened on July 24, 1971. The experimental craft was fabricated by Tacoma Boat Building under subcontract to Aerojet. The high speed vessel rode atop a cushion of air in excess of 80 knots. ALBUM 4. (TNT 7-24-71, p. 22, TNT 7-25-71, A-19; "Christening Ceremony Program")
