This powerful image captures the moment of launch for the S.S. Lurline, one of the Matson Lines flagship cruise ships, as it slides into the water from its dry‑dock slip. The bow of the ship dominates the frame, rising between scaffolding and slip‑ways, the hull pristine and ready for service. The photograph conveys the engineering ambition and elegance of early 1930s oceangoing liners: an intersection of industrial scale, maritime tradition, and the promise of luxury travel.
