Iconic SS Great Britain Ship at Bristol Harbour, UK 🇬🇧

SS Great Britain, now residing at Bristol Harbour as a museum ship, is a former passenger steamship that was advanced for her time. The largest passenger ship in the world from 1845 to 1853, she was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859) for the Great Western Steamship Company's transatlantic service between Bristol and New York City.
Launched on the 19th July 1843 she created a sensation wherever in the world she visited. While other ships had been built of iron or equipped with a screw propeller, Great Britain was the first to combine these features in a large ocean-going ship. She was the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic Ocean, which she did in 1845.
The ship is 322 ft (98 m) in length and has a 3,400-ton displacement. She was powered by two inclined two-cylinder engines of the direct-acting type, with twin cylinders 88 in (220 cm) bore, of 6-foot (1.8 m) stroke. She was also provided with secondary masts for sail power. The four decks provided accommodation for a crew of 120, plus 360 passengers who were provided with cabins, and dining and promenade saloons.
On the 23rd June 1970, exactly 53 years before this recording, the SS Great Britain made her homecoming voyage 47, arriving back in Bristol from the Falkland Islands where she had been left since 1886 after being damaged in a gale off Cape Horn.
