Launching a ship isn't as simple as pushing it into the water; it's a massive challenge that requires a lot of effort and can sometimes go terribly wrong. Let's take a look at five ship launches that definitely didn't go according to plan.

From the RMS Queen Mary to SS Daphne, HMS Albion, SS Great Eastern, and SS Principessa Jolanda, each launch has its own story. These ocean giants faced unexpected disasters that turned their launches into memorable events.
