From 1845 to 1854, the SS Great Britain was the largest and most technologically advanced passenger ship on the planet. Designed by the great engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, it was the first ship of its size to combine iron construction with a screw propeller.
Today, the ship is a fantastic museum where you can learn all about its history and about Brunel. There's also a great coffee shop here, if you're just passing by.
