SS Great Britain Talking Toilet #isambardkingdombrunel #bristol #victorian #ssgreatbritain
Good morning Blueskyers. A few pictures of the amazing #SSGreatBritain which I visited with the #SouthBristolMassive on Saturday. Highly recommended to anyone with any interest in history or engineering.
Great day out for @nightqueen.co.uk and I on #Bristol #harbourside with @racheljs.bsky.social and @bigbernie.bsky.social The #SSGreatBritain was a really enjoyable visit
I just managed to squeeze in a bonus painting session, resulting in a third picture in my Bristol Miniatures series. This one is of Brunel's ship the S.S.Great Britain ...

SS Gt Britain coming home 1970 River Avon
SS Great Britain restored in Bristol format similar to the Cutty Sark restoration presentation.
SS Great Eastern Beached for Breaking Up.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel: English civil engineer and mechanical engineer who is considered "one of the most ingenious and prolific figures in engineering history" pictured beside the Gt Eastern ship under construction behind the chains loop behind him.
The comparison may directly be the #CuttySark but #SSGreatBritain languished for 33 years awaiting a private benefactor to save her in 1970.
The SS Gt Eastern struggled by comparison and was broken up (location of the famous Brunel image).
