Launch of Reliance at 5 This Afternoon
Bristol R J April 10 The new cup defender Reliance will launch from the south shop at the Herreshoff yards at 5 oclock tomorrow afternoon. The boat is completed for her maiden voyage but the doorway is too narrow to pass clear to the water, so builders are tearing down parts of the shop sides. Flags will be raised as the defender clears the doorway, the main boom is being prepared on the wharf, and the mast will be stepped early next week.
