From the SS Great Britain website
The SS Great Britain was a world first when she was launched in Bristol in 1843. This uniquely successful ship design brought together new technologies in a way which transformed world travel.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the most daring of the great Victorian engineers, conceived the groundbreaking combination of a screw propeller, an iron hull, and a massive 1000-horsepower steam engine.
She was immediately successful - on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic the ss Great Britain easily broke the previous speed record.
Although effectively a prototype, she continued sailing until 1886, and travelled thirty-two times around the world and nearly one million miles at sea.
She was finally abandoned in the Falkland Islands, in 1937, after more than 40 years use as a floating warehouse.
In 1970 an ambitious salvage effort brought her home to Bristol, where today she is conserved in the dry dock where she was originally built.

Fully dressed overall for Battle Of Atlantic Sunday, HMCS MONTREAL steams past SS Acadia now resting in front of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax on 1 May 2016.
Acadia spent most of her long career as a survey ship for the Canadian Government. This historic ship was commissioned HMCS ACADIA and served actively in the RCN in WWI. She was again commissioned in WWII and escorted convoys during the Battle Of The Atlantic.

Wreck of SS Speke: Once the second largest three masted ship in the world, SS Speke ran aground on 22 of February 1906 near Kitty Miller Bay in Philip Island when its captain mistook a 'bush fire for a navigational signal'. One seaman drowned to death (while everyone else escaped unharmed) and the captain had his marine license suspended for one year. This wreck can be reached from the Kitty Miller Bay shore during low tide.
