Designed by Brunel, the SS Great Britain was the world's first iron hulled ship. It is now a museum, which is worth checking out!

Here, you'll get a fantastic view of the iconic SS.
The SS Great Britain is a museum ship and former passenger steamship, once the world's largest from 1845 to 1853.
Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Steamship Company's Bristol to New York service, she was the first large ocean-going ship made of iron and equipped with a screw propeller.
In 1845, she became the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic, doing so in 14 days.
