When she set out on her first voyage to New York in 1845, SS Great Britain was the largest passenger ship ever built, and she would go on to transport over 30,000 people during her 41-year-working life. For most of that period, the ship carried emigrants between Liverpool and Melbourne on the notoriously testing Australia run - a non-stop sea journey that lasted anywhere between two to three months.

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.
