A quick visit to see Isambard Kingdom Brunel's iconic SS Great Britain. One of the most important historic ships in the world and his vision made her the great-great-grandmother for all modern ships.. When she was launched in 1843 she was called 'the greatest experiment since the Creation'.
By combining size, power and innovative technology, Brunel created a ship that changed history.
A fascinating insight in to her history.
And yesterday with the help of the Ragged Victorians, a step back in time
And as always, thank you to those who have taken the time to look, vote and comment.
Please feel free to offer critique. Another viewpoint is always welcome
