If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

S S Great Britain

Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, ss Great Britain was the first of the great steamships when launched from Bristol in c1843. As the world's biggest ship she embarked on a varied career, first as a luxury liner carrying passengers to New York and Melbourne, then as a ferry carrying troops to the Crimea and India, and finally as a cargo ship, before being abandoned in the Falkland Islands in c1886. She is now being restored to her original appearance at the Great Western Dock in which she was built 'ship shape and Bristol fashion'.
