- Julia Bradbury climbs the rigging on board Brunel's ss Great Britain as she explores the ship that changed the world for a new ITV series, 'The Wonder of Britain'.
I really enjoy the “water” which is also a roof for those on the dry dock , it both preserves the ship without having the maintenance of it actually being in the water , pretty awesome actually
Imagine being in 1843 and never heard of propellers, and seeing this ship move without oars, sails or paddle wheels. Almost like magic!
If I ever get to England, I want to visit this ship in Bristol. Thanks to all who worked to bring her home and restore her and keep her in good order today! A true legend!
BRUNEL was a genius who is not by far appreciated as he deserves
Agreed. The atmospheric railroad was absolute genius that was only defeated by the materials available at the time.

I share your disappointment over the failure of his ahead-of-time projects
@@LPKelly380 Still hasn’t worked in president day. It’s uneconomical.
What a clever idea to have the appearance of a ship floating, yet you can access the hull below the 'waterline' ! Brilliant. So much better than what has happened to the Cutty Sark with the crazy glass house structure which dominates the ships current appearance.
This is SO beautiful! What a ship. The QUEEN MARY in Long Beach could use a spot like this so locals and the like can really imagine her splendor. Thank you for this beautifully crafted and hosted video.
Matthew Richards She needs to come back to the UK. Americans don't have the class to know what to do with a ship like her.
Having seen the Queen Mary , I couldn't imagine it in dry dock . It's a must see for visitors to San Diego.
@Willie Dynamite Sorry Willie ,my mistake, Long beach it is😀
@@spencerwilton5831 Last time she was in the UK, she almost turned into license plates and tin cans, so eh.
@@spencerwilton5831 THAT'S A SWEEPING SILLY CLAIM ,FOR A WHOLE NATION, RUDE TOO. HAD QUEEN MARY STAYED IN BRITAIN, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SCRAPPED, LIKE ALL HER FAMOUS PREDECESOR'S. LOOK AT QE2 , SOLD TO THE ARABS. THE QUEEN ELEIZABETH, DESTROYED IN HONG KONG HARBOUR.
Brunel the creator of some great ships and a great railway which I both love soo much
She has had a very useful life some 88 years in service 37 years resting on the seabed in the Falklands and now an educational exhibit in the very drydock she was built in.
So happy it was saved and restored. Testimony to what our ancestors could do....They put the Great in the Great Britain such a shame that the Great Eastern wasn't saved.
The SS Great Britain is so beautiful!!! It’s vibe of colour, the masts and the funnel is how she is so beautiful!!! 😍😍😍
And later he built the Great Eastern which, by any standards, isn't beautiful.
Nah, that looks better
Henrik Carlsen, Nah SS Great Eastern looks better
That has to be the best display of a vessel I've ever seen, the illusion of it sitting in water is superb, Brunel was indeed a giant of engineering.
What a beautiful display! Imagine the expense of that water feature! But so beautiful too. What a great monument to Brunel.
Julia and the thought of a Cat of Nine Tails sends me into ecstasy!
I've seen this I think twice when I was much younger and never found it that interesting. Now I'm kind of obsessed with ships and really want to go and see it again!
At last, she went home.
Wonderful ship with a wonderful story !
Well, she might have been "scrapped" but on the Falkland Islands she was used as a hulk for storage of coal. And then at some point towed back to England, a very risky business but she survived to tell the tale. I went over her in around 1973 (she was an empty void with temporary planked walkways), but since then she has been "fitted out" and really I must go see her again while I am still able.
This presenter is excellent. Love to see more of her videos, as well as visit the Great Britain. Shout out to the production team as well - fab video 😍
Absolutely stupendous project that filled me with intense feelings of what it was like back in the days of this ship . I would wholeheartedly recomend this to anybody who is interested in life back in 1843 , heights of people , smells of the different cabins and the authentic appointments . However.. The dry dock wasnt so great . The ship is in very poor structural condition and I would suggest that it would be a perfect project for apprentices to remove the worst of the rotted out hull plates and replace them using traditional methods . The museum argues that the ship wont be original but have no problem with the new interiors . The older a ship gets , the more consumable parts are needed and hull plates have gone rotten and need replacing . This is the ideal project to re introduce the forgotten art of rivetting plates together as only Germany seems to have retained the skills
Wow that's come on some. First saw the great Britain just after she went into the drydock in about 1980 ish ??? It was just a bare hulk with concrete filling in the holes in the hull. Hats off to all who have recreated this awesome ship. Thank you
I can' believe this channel has only 192 subscribers! It's now, 193!!
Visited the SS Great Britain on 25th June...an excellent day out!
Walked the decks yesterday can only thank all who saved her ❤️
I wonder if we 200 years later will send 100s of people on months long journeys to settle Mars... this was the Starship of its time.
Bellissimo!!
remember my visit to ssgreat britain ,show the british could built
Fantastic.This Is What They Should Do with the Queen mary.
I can assure you the men working in the tops were not "just dangling".
what a beauty
Yes, and ship ain't bad either 😉
I went on that the other day
Why is she flying the White Ensign?
SS Great Britain was launched in 1843 but it took until 1864 before the Admiralty decided to end the ambiguity caused by the Red Ensign being used both a civil ensign and a naval ensign, and the White Ensign was reserved solely for the Royal Navy and the Red Ensign was made the Civil Ensign. Before 1864 the Royal Navy flew all three colours (Red, White, Blue) as their ensign and merchant vessels usually flew the Red Ensign, well, usually.
It is also assumed that SS Great Britain's first master James Hosken (a Royal Navy veteran), brought the White Ensign with him.
It was such a Shame that they had to cut the original masts down before transportation. For me it tipped it over the edge to the point where I thought is it even worth saving?.. can you imagine how much more majestic she would have looked sailings back up the river with her masts stood tall and proud , like a real life ghost ship
British is Best .
Nice..
Scrapped? Left to rot but obviously not scrapped.
I have been there
I wish the Great Eastern was saved. Too bad she was abandoned and unceremoniously scraped.
Ah Julia a dream is over now I know you are 5 foot 9 and I am only 5 foot 6.
On the other documentaries about the Great Briton, they said that she had had her engines removed, Were they able to find the original engines ior engine like the original or were these made for her?
*would've *would've
U spelt Britain wrong
The engine was removed and the ship became sails only when she was sold to a new owner. No one is sure why they did this.
@@MrTumbleweed22 Weight, space and scrap value I'd imagine. Also easier to sell without having the potential of expensive engine problems, hiring engineers and buying tons and tons of coal and storing vast amounts of water for steam. Sail sailors were probably in abundant supply at the time.
3:00 Watch your head with this metal beam ! 😖
yes....how DID everyone survive without all the safety rubbish????? some didn't, but that is life. life is dangerous. nobody gets out alive. live it to the fullest. and don't let any government con you into doing things you don't feel are right!
first propeller ship was SS Archimedes not SS Great Britain but whatever
1.08 i am realie not sure who has the nicest rear section behind ? ?? In this video 😃
My dad was married on there
Ms Julia Bradbury. Mmm mmm.
Now they can't even make PPE
SHOULD HAVE HAD A QUICK LOOK AT THE POSH DINING PARTS TO END ON, THIS WAS DEPRESSING.
can someone tell me the music at the beginning of the video please ?
Ticket sales only account for a small portion of the approximately 2.4 million American dollars a year. The government picks up the rest of the tab. Once again hard earned tax payer dollars is shunted away from those in need to those who have it all. Disgusting and pathetic.
coool
Questa nave è originale al 2 % credo.
The BBC recently revealed plans for a new documentary on the secret life of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, about how apparently all the pictures of him were of an actor, Brunel herself was in fact a black Muslim transvestite.
Wait wait wait you said that the s.s great britan was scrapt and ... why is it ther and u said it was brot back .... so dose that mean that its not the original?
She ended up dumped in The Falkland Islands as a coal hulk, and was deemed too unseaworthy to return to England. Which saved her from scrapping, ironically.
@@peterjones3557 oh
@@peterjones3557 There are many ships still in the Falklands who were used as hulks, sadly the Fennia was "rescued" by the San Francisco Maritime museum only to be scrapped in Uruguay.
@@benwilson6145 Yes, I heard the the 'rescuers' failed to pay all the harbour dues, so it was seized and and sold for scrap. Not enough time to arrange a rescue fund, and The Falklands won't allow any more 'rescues'.
@@peterjones3557 It so fantastic to see hulks that have been their since 1850 onward to the late arrival of the Lady Elizabeth of 1913. Its hard to believe that such a place exists. You can walk out to the Vicar of Bray at Goose Green a its part of the Jetty. The Jehelum amazes me.
It’s haunted
Not true. Almost nothing of the original ship has survived. It’s just the hulk. It would be more realistic for some building the crew wound have worked in while ashore to be haunted.
Hope that wasn't a real rat at 3.38.
Its clockwork
Hey lady, watch putting your head down on pillows that everyone else does, I got head lice that way once.
She was certainly in a terrible state. But well done to all who made her what she is today.
It was Not Brunelbwho built all these shipr. Nor did The narrative of a few ARCH-I-TECH build all The glorious Beautiful ARCH-I-TECHure. They are much older and was built by Tartarians. Australia have The same greek-roman style. As Vietnam, All of America ans Alaska, RUSSIA, China, Cambodja, AFRICA and of COURSE EUROPA. Great Britain is full of it.
He did build this ship though. And a lot of other stuff.
In fact, The UK has built many, any impressive ships.
Not petrified
Just doing another job
Get over it girl!
Poor commentary.
The Power prop was not great design
It broke and fell apart
If you think that's great?
You are goofy in the head!
