Isambard Kingdom Brunel had strong associations with South Wales;
chief engineer of the GWR at just 27, he was the same for the South
Wales Railway Co., taking the railways across South Wales. This
illustrated history focuses on Brunel's contribution to the
maritime world, from his work on dry docks and shipping facilities
to his steamships, including his 'great leviathan'. For PSS Great
Eastern, Brunel chose Milford Haven as a home port where she would
spend many years, still the largest ship in the world but sadly
without work after her pioneering role laying telegraph cables
under the world's oceans. The Great Britain steamship sailed from
Penarth, a dock associated with the later work of Brunel's son,
Henry Marc Brunel who would be responsible for the largest dock
system built in Wales, at Barry. Other dock works include Briton
Ferry which Brunel designed to handle the output of the VNR and the
SWMR. One of his last engineering projects was a steam railway
ferry across the river Severn, a unique work that was superseded
with the opening of the Severn Tunnel. This illustrated history
delves deep into Brunel's legacy.
