For The Shaw’s turn-of-the-millenium poster, we conceived of the launching of a great ship, complete with the traditional “christening” of a bottle of champagne. The “hull” of our vessel is the drydock wall of a lock along the Welland Canal in St Catharines — this photo was made 30 feet below the surface of Lake Ontario.
