SS Great Britain, Bristol
Launched in 1843 by legendary Victorian Engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the SS Great Britain was over 100 feet longer than her rivals and the first screw propelled, ocean going, wrought iron ship, with a top speed of 12 knots.
Today you can visit the now fully restored ship which sits in the original dry dock where she was built, complete with a new re-construction of the original engine which was an engineering wonder of the age. Explore the cabins and quarters where passengers and crew slept and see the historic collection of objects and artifacts.
