“Discover the ship that changed the world”
Brunel’s SS Great Britain is one of the iconic sights of Bristol, perched in Bristol’s Great Western Dockyard near where it was built over 170 years ago.
First launched in 1843, the iron steamship is said to be the “Great-grandmother of all modern ships” due to its combination of size, power and innovative technology. It enjoyed nearly 90 years of service thanks to Brunel’s engineering skills.
Worktribe Connect attendees will have the opportunity to explore the ship within breaks during both days of the event.
