Shipbuilder’s Day in Russia
June 29 · Level 8 · #579 of 2238
Russia’s Shipbuilder’s Day celebrates the people who design, build and repair vessels. Every launch represents the combined work of designers, welders, fitters and many other specialists who turn drawings into a functioning ship.
How it is celebrated: shipyards and design offices congratulate employees and industry veterans and present awards. Museums and businesses organise events about shipbuilding history and contemporary projects.
A steel ship floats because its hull encloses a large volume of air. The vessel’s overall average density is lower than that of water, despite the weight of its metal structure.
