Could You Survive as a Sailor on a Victorian Ocean Liner?

What was working on SS Great Britain really like? Isambard Kingdom Brunel's SS Great Britain is undoubtedly one of the most important historic ships in the world. When she was launched from Bristol by Prince Albert in 1843, she was called 'the greatest experiment since the creation'. No one else in the Victorian era had designed an iron ship so vast or revolutionary. It was also the world's first great luxury ocean liner, carrying passengers to the United States and Australia throughout her long career. SS Great Britain changed history. As well as being built of iron and steam powered, Brunel rejected using conventional paddle wheels to drive his ship.

History Hit presenters Louee Dessent and Luke Tomes step aboard to experience the life of the crew in the 19th century, to see
