SS Great Britain SS Great Britain No Data

Description


Described as the mother of modern ships, SS Great Britain was another of Brunel's masterpieces. After 80 years of service she was scuttled in the Falkland islands and left to rot for nearly 30 years before being recovered and returned to the dry dock where she was built. Work to restore the ship continues, as years of salt are still making the iron rust. You can access almost all parts of the ship, including being able to walk around the base of it.
