Brunels SS great Britian

#ferrytrip #tripmoments #tripblazers #trip #100waysoftravel #historicallandmarks #localguides 💞Reasons to Recommend: On July 19, 1843, by British engineer Ethanbad Goldham. The ship "SS Great Britain" designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel was built and launched in Bristol. It is the first steam ship across the Atlantic Ocean with a tin appearance and propeller-driven, and also The world's largest floating ship at that time not only highlighted Victorian industry and creativity, but also provided design standards for modern shipping. After 1846, the "Britain" changed owners several times to become an immigration ship, fulfilling the immigration dreams of countless Europeans. It was known as a miracle in the history of British navigation and became one of the fastest, most elegant and most luxurious immigration ships at that time. After sailing more than 1 million miles and the iron hull withstanding the test of nearly a hundred years, the "Great Britain" was decommissioned in 1937. After several repairs, it was built as a museum ship, and her new mission began. A ticket is required to board the SS Great Britain to visit the museum. The student ticket is 18 pounds/person, which is valid for one year. I didn't enter the boat to visit. If you are interested, you can go in and have a look. I heard that there are also dressing up and taking photos, which is quite interesting. Walking all the way along the port, there are many cafes and snack bars along the way, some of which are converted from cruise ships docked on the shore, and Bristol Harbour cruises are also here. Strolling by the water, basking in the warm sun and blowing the wind, many people run in the morning, sitting on the roadside chatting with their families and friends, and many parents bring their children to play here, which is really very leisurely.
