The steam ship Great Britain is a unique survival from Victorian times: the world's first iron hulled, screw propeller-driven, steam-powered passenger liner, and the only surviving 19th century example of the type. When launched in 1843 she was twice the tonnage of any previous ship, and the combination of revolutionary features in her design had a seminal influence on virtually all modern ships.
* Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel
* The forerunner of ALL modern ships
* The largest ship of her day
* Carried over 15,000 emigrants to Australia
