I wonder if we 200 years later will send 100s of people on months long journeys to settle Mars... this was the Starship of its time.

Well, she might have been "scrapped" but on the Falkland Islands she was used as a hulk for storage of coal. And then at some point towed back to England, a very risky business but she survived to tell the tale. I went over her in around 1973 (she was an empty void with temporary planked walkways), but since then she has been "fitted out" and really I must go see her again while I am still able.

Incredible effort 👌 💪🏻

They need to cover the whole with a roof/building to stop the degradation of the upper works.

Great job and thanks for saving such important part off history 👏 ❤

Meisterwerk 🙏🙏

Umm you not him because he designed the ship and launched her I think 1845 and do you really think that burrel will be able to live for 177 years huh ? And why you look so young

You should rebuild the SS Great Eastern, sir

How about the rms queen mary

Thank you to all who saved her and preserve her today. I truly hope I get visit her someday.

I wonder if the same thing could be done with the RMS Queen Mary should the spectacular liner that was similarly once the largest and fastest in the world return home.

amazing I went on it actually

Did you ever find out who the 10 year old boy was?

can someone tell me the music at the beginning of the video please ?

Name any slaves which were transported on the SS Great Britain

This presenter is excellent. Love to see more of her videos, as well as visit the Great Britain. Shout out to the production team as well - fab video 😍

Ticket sales only account for a small portion of the approximately 2.4 million American dollars a year. The government picks up the rest of the tab. Once again hard earned tax payer dollars is shunted away from those in need to those who have it all. Disgusting and pathetic.

first propeller ship was SS Archimedes not SS Great Britain but whatever

Visited the ship finally two weeks ago, was more amazing than I expected

3:00 Watch your head with this metal beam ! 😖

Brilliant pictures of the raising. Would love to see more.

Excellent short film, of an amazing project. I’ve visited the ship several times since it has been back in Bristol, Well done to everyone involved.

Magnificent restoration! Absolutely breathtaking! She looks *stunning!*

I like the great Britain I made a detailed drawing of this vessal

Fantastic.This Is What They Should Do with the Queen mary.

Imagine being in 1843 and never heard of propellers, and seeing this ship move without oars, sails or paddle wheels. Almost like magic!

SHOULD HAVE HAD A QUICK LOOK AT THE POSH DINING PARTS TO END ON, THIS WAS DEPRESSING.

What about the cabins in first cabin!?

I bet you had a lot of people questioning your mental state. But wow you pulled it off. I have worked on tugs all my life and have seen at least a dozen similar salvage operations that failed.

I can't believe how small Stanley was in the map at 5:38. It has grown many times over in the past 50 years.

These gentlmen must be employees of Risdon Beazley, a Southampton uk salvage firm.

Don't you think photos that exist might have been better ?

Bradbury, she's as useful as a lighthouse in the desert.

1.08 i am realie not sure who has the nicest rear section behind ? ?? In this video 😃

Are you needing any online promotion? We can send you an offer.

Rule Brittannia!

Rule Brittannia!

She was certainly in a terrible state. But well done to all who made her what she is today.

Fantastic effort. Its a shame the RN scrapped all its battleships as one of those would be a great tourist attraction.

What an amazing story. Well done to everyone involved.

Background music/noises....WHY? WHY? WHY?

Ah Julia a dream is over now I know you are 5 foot 9 and I am only 5 foot 6.

yes....how DID everyone survive without all the safety rubbish????? some didn't, but that is life. life is dangerous. nobody gets out alive. live it to the fullest. and don't let any government con you into doing things you don't feel are right!

Wow that's come on some. First saw the great Britain just after she went into the drydock in about 1980 ish ??? It was just a bare hulk with concrete filling in the holes in the hull. Hats off to all who have recreated this awesome ship. Thank you

It was such a Shame that they had to cut the original masts down before transportation. For me it tipped it over the edge to the point where I thought is it even worth saving?.. can you imagine how much more majestic she would have looked sailings back up the river with her masts stood tall and proud , like a real life ghost ship

I wish the Great Eastern was saved. Too bad she was abandoned and unceremoniously scraped.
