LST 768 slides sideways down a marine railway into the Allegheny River at Ambridge, Pennsylvania following its christening. A man in the bow enjoys the ride of a lifetime, witnessed by the ceremony guests on shore. In another second, the man in the rowboat may experience a wild ride of his own when the ship’s wake reaches his small craft.
