Brunel's SS Great Britain

In Bristol, the world's first iron steamship and luxury liner has been restored to its 1843 appearance. This vessel, which weighs 3,443 tons, was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a Victorian engineer. Incidentally, in 1831 (at the age of 25), Brunel began the Bristol landmark Clifton Suspension Bridge over the 76m-deep (250-ft.) Somerset Gorge at Clifton .
