The new 29,500 ton P & O liner "Iberia", which is being launched at Belfast on January 21st, is being fitted with Denny Brown stabilising equipment to lessen rolling in heavy seas, minimizing a 14??roll to one of 2??immediately. Normally the fins, which measure approximately 12' x 6' and are below the water line, are fitted when a vessel goes into dry dock but in the case of the "Iberia" they were put into position while she was still on the stocks and the photograph illustrates this. The "Iberia's" sister ship "Arcadia", which is leaving London on her maiden voyage to Australia on February 22nd, is also being fitted with stabilising fins but these are being inserted in the usual way, while the ship is in Liverpool dry dock. November 02, 1954.
