The Steamship of Brunel and Scott Russell in Full Steam
Buy From Art.com
The three Brunel lenses about his Great Ships have been updated, so I am happier with them. The legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel built three ships during his career, each of which represented a leap forward in ship design. His last, the Great Eastern was too far ahead of its time, and was eventually dismantled because no practical use could be found for its unique design.
The SS Great Western
The SS Great Britain
The SS Great Eastern
For anyone interested in naval history, these three ships are definitely something to look into. The SS Great Britain, the sole survivor, is displayed at Bristol Docks. The Great Eastern, the largest was scrapped in the 1890's, but art.com has a really nice image of her, sails, paddlewheels, and screw propellers so I've linked it on the right.
I might try article marketing to promote them, but the only site that pays wants my tax details, and strangely enough I'm not happy handing those out so that's on the back burner for the moment.
