One of the most significant ships of the 19th century, the Great Western ocean-going paddle steamer was designed by celebrated British engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and was his attempt to produce a steam ship capable of making regular Atlantic steam crossings, without any reliance on wind power.
Cleverly though, Brunel did include sails in his design, as this stabilised the ship in rough seas and ensured maximum efficiency from the two mighty steam powered paddles.
