SS Great Britain (2)
SS Great Britain, Brunel’s design, this week for the second and last time. This picture, ‘borrowed’ from the Internet, shows the ship as it is moored in Bristol’s floating harbour for the remainder of its long life. It must be about what the passengers saw when approaching the ship for the journey ahead of them to whichever destination.
View of a slightly better cabin, although it’s impossible to swing a cat… Anyway, there seem to be two bunk beds, a desk and a toilet – and even a tiny porthole! (Imagine lying in bed next to someone using the toilet.) When looking at the (oil-)lamp one wonders how almost inevitable fires were avoided.
