Let your dreams set sail ✨

(PRESS TRIP) Wow, isn’t she a beauty?! The @ssgreatbritain is a mighty ship built by the one and only Isambard Kingdom Brunel in Bristol. An eccentric engineer that is responsible for many engineering achievements in this country including the first Great Western railways in U.K.!

The S.S. Great Britian was a ship that changed the world and was the longest passenger iron ship with a steam engine in 1843! Did you know it used to take 3 months to travel by ship to Australia?! That was fast back then! It makes you grateful for the 24 hour plane journey today right?!
•••••
It actually got ship wrecked in the Falkland Islands in 1886 and in 1970 she finally came back home to Bristol where you can visit her today where she was first built. I didn’t actually expect it to be so interesting but learning about travel at that time was fascinating!

Tell me: would you be prepared to travel 3 months by cruise to somewhere?! I know I wouldn’t @visitbristol •••••
