Ep 54 - River Thames - SS Great Eastern, the steel leviathan

Come and meet the Floating City, the SS Great Eastern, the largest ship in its day, 6 times larger than any other ship afloat at the time. We revisit the legend that is Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and take a little trip to the Brunel Museum in Rotherhithe to meet Katherine, who has a little offer for our listeners! We also tell you where you can go and visit the launch ramp of the ship itself, which still exists in London.
