Acclaimed maritime historian and author Brian Lavery gets under the skin of Brunel's SS Great Britain, showing how this wonder of Victorian maritime design and engineering prowess was conceived, built and operated.
Drawing on a rich archive of documents and illustrations from the SS Great Britain Trust's collections at the Brunel Institute alongside the ship, he brings alive the story of this remarkable vessel and the experience of the passengers and crew who travelled the world's oceans in her.
