The SS Great Britain was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and was described as ‘the greatest experiment since the creation’ when she was launched in 1843. She was the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic, which she did in 1845, and carried thousands of immigrants to Australia until she was converted to sail in 1881. She was retired to the Falkland Islands in 1884 and scuttled in 1937 but was salvaged and towed back to the city of her creation, Bristol, in 1970, where she now stands in the Harbour as an award-winning visitor attraction.
