SS Great Britain
Brunels' revolutionary ship, combining steam power screw propellor with an iron hull for the first time, she served as a transatlantic passenger ship, then a steamer to Australia eventually ending up as a floating warehouse in the Falkland Islands. Recovered to the UK in 1970, she sits in the same dry dock in which she was built, open as a tourist attraction and monument to the inginuity of Brunel
