SS Great Britain
The SS Great Britain, Brunel´s masterpiece of ship design and engineering, is housed in the original `Great Western Dock´ in which she was built in 1843. The ship is the world´s first great ocean liner - before she was built, long distance sea voyages that were made on wooden sailing ships were dangerous and unpredictable. Sea travel took a great leap forward when famous Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel applied his remarkable skill to the problem. She was the largest ship of her day and the first screw-propelled iron passenger liner; in fact the ship is really the forerunner of all modern ships.
