The SS Great Britain was a passenger steam ship that sailed between Bristol and New York for the Great Western Steamship Company's transatlantic service. She was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806–1859) and was the first large ocean-going ship to be built of iron and to be equipped with a screw propeller. The Great Britain was the longest passenger ship in the world from 1845 to 1854 at 322 ft (98 m) in length. In 1852 she was sold for salvage and repaired after the owners went bankrupt trying to refloat the ship when she ran aground in 1846. From 1852-1881 she carried thousands of immigrants to Australia, including the England Cricket Team in 1861. Then she was used in the Falkland Islands as a warehouse, quarantine ship and coal hulk until she was scuttled in 1937. In 1970 she was paid to be raised and repaired enough to be towed back to England by Sir Jack Arnold Hayward. She is now a museum ship that resides in a dry dock in Bristol Harbour.
