English: en:Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of US President, Theodore Roosevelt, after launching the USS Theodore Roosevelt (SSBN-600) at Mare Island on October 3, 1959. The shipyard's newspaper described the story of this picture. "She didn't do it, but she was supposed to -- break the champagne bottle on the bow of the Theodore Roosevelt, first Polaris submarine built on the West Coast, and launched at Mare Island on October 3, 1959.
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of the late President for whom the ship was named, was the sponsor. She was also the first, and last, Mare Island sponsor who declined a dress rehearsal for the launching ceremony. She missed the ship when she swung the bottle, and in desperation threw the bottle at the ship and missed again. Fortunately, a member of the crew up on the ship pulled the bottle up by the attached cable, and quickly smashed the bottle on the bow before the ship hit the water. He did a fine job as evidence by the broken bottle held by the tearful sponsor." In the photo Alice wears the costly string of pearls given her by the government of Cuba upon her marriage to Nicholas Longworth in 1906. |
