About this book
An illustrated account of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's S.S. Great Britain, the pioneering iron-hulled, screw-propelled steamship launched in 1843. Adrian Ball and Diana Wright follow the ship's working life, her survival in the Falkland Islands and the remarkable recovery that brought her back to Bristol for restoration.
Photographs and illustrations accompany the history in a compact landscape-format volume for readers of maritime history and historic ships.
