The SS Great Britain was built in Britain by the famous engineer
Isambard Brunel, she travelled to America, Australia, India
and Russia, and finally retired in the Falkland Islands.
She
worked for nearly 100 years, travelled over a million miles,
and had a huge impact on world travel, engineering and shipbuilding.
Find out what life was like for people travelling on the
world's biggest iron steamship, from first class passengers
to those travelling in cramped steerage. Explore the new
interactive Dockyard Museum, where you can steer the ship
on a westerly course and operate the machinery lifting Brunel's
massive propeller out of water.

The Matthew set sail for Asia and finally arrived on the coast of Newfoundland
and therefore was the original discoverer of America, not Christopher Columbus
as most people are led to believe. Today the replica of the Matthew sits proudly
in Bristol harbour for all to see. The general public are able to board The Matthew
as well as embark on trips around the harbour.
