I worked at Marinette Marine for 42 years and was involved in more launches than I could count . There is a hole 450 feet long by 80 feet wide and 50 feet deep carved out of the river bottom that the ship launches into .The Menominee River in that area is about 20 feet deep more or less , depending on the levels of the great lakes . I did see a video of a side launch where the ship went upside down .I think it was in Italy .

"Spirit Of America" was not delivered until 9/16/05 and originally intended to enter service on October 25, 2005 (the centennial of the municipal Staten Island ferry service), but delayed to April 4, 2006 due to technical and legal issues. I can't understand the long time from launch to delivery (nine months). The builder plate inside "Spirit Of America" has a 2005 build date (despite completed by 12/18/04 launch).

As along as stability calculation calculated properly and side launching calculation also calculated correctly the ship will be afloat safely except damage stability.

If a ship is badly built, it'll roll over anyway, even if you launch it perpendicularly. See "principessa jolanda" as an example. Side launches are perfectly safe and take much less space to do, so long as the ship is built solid.

@KeMoniito She didn't actuly mention the builders, she said "Bless the Men and Women that sail on her", and I am sure many women will sail on it. But I see where your coming from, usually it is said "Bless all who sail in/on her". Plus I am sure that the ship building company employes Women, so they contributed, even if indirectly.

The Spirit of America I'd a brand new ship but it was designed to keep to the traditional look of the previous ferries. It runs along side with 7 other ships that look much like it. The other ships were made any where from the 1960s to the 2000
