I have also found out that a great aunt of mine launched a ship. We have found a ceremonial axe in a hardwood case, the axe inscribed:

"SHIP WESTGATE launched by EVA WILSON Jan 31st 1885 : R & J EVANS Ship-builders LIVERPOOL : Chadwick & Prichard Managing Owners"

She was one of FRANK CAMPBELL WILSON'S older siblings, and cannot have been more than a girl at the time.
