Thanks to the restoration, you have the possibility to go back to 1845 when the SS Great Britain started its career. As a passenger ship with an iron hull (new) a screw drive (new) then also the largest ship ever built. It must have been a wonder of the world for contemporaries. Unfortunately for K.I. Brunel, as with many of his projects, was ahead of his time. Commercially, the SS Great Britain was not a success. The flow of emigrants to the US would not start until after 1870.
The new associated museum explains everything well.
The admission tickets are registered and offer the opportunity to visit the SS Great Britain within a year.
