Step back in time aboard Brunel's ss Great Britain to a golden age of Victorian invention. The iron ship's story is rich in triumphs, disaster, personal tragedy and joy, which culminates in her dramatic rescue and eventual return to the dock where she was built, here in Bristol. The Dockyard museum charts the fascinating history of Brunel's masterpeice and a guided audio tour of the vast ship provides dramatic recreations of the lives of the real passengers and crew. Descend into the dry dock, under the 'glass sea' for a close up look of her giant hull and propeller, and walk into the engine room - as noisy and smelly as it was back in 1845, complete with stokers and engineers. A story brilliantly told - all museums should be like this!
