The 'Great Eastern'By Simon Winchcombe
Discover more about the ship the Great Eastern, which
stretched to the limits of Victorian technology and, perhaps, cost
the life of its visionary designer - Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Whilst the Great Eastern made history with its
revolutionary design, the ship was never a great success
commercially, and was plagued by a series of mishaps. Eventually, it
ended its days as a tourist attraction, before being broken down for
scrap. A sad end for a magnificent 'Wonder of the Industrial World'.
