Weather Deck Works | SS Great Britain
Просмотров 1864 месяца назад
The weather deck is the SS Great Britain’s roof. It protects the ship from the elements and acts as a seal to keep water out, maintaining the carefully controlled environment on the inside. The current deck was installed in the 1990s and urgently needs to be replaced. Without this work, water will continue to get in and the 180-year-old wrought iron hull will continue to rust.

Learn about the ingenious 1800s Wardian Case from our Victorian botanist. Wardian Case: [ˈwɔːdɪən keɪs] Victorian glass houses used to transport plants over long distances, often for maritime use.

Mr brunel what about the rms queen mary
Working here for work experience was 100% the best week I’ve had in awhile
‘The Golden Wreck’ by Alexander McKee is a brilliant book which tells the tragedy of the Royal Charter. Alexander McKee was also the man who searched for, and found the wreck of the Mary Rose.
Back in 1994, I sponsored a plank for the new deck in my eldest son’s name. In January 2024, we visited the SS Great Britain for the first time, and we were touched and moved to see my son’s name in the SS Great Britain Trust book of thanks which is kept in the library. A few months back, I purchased a door wedge made out of the old 1990s deck, and this is very special to me, not only because it’s come off the SS Great Britain - but because of my son’s connection with it. ❤️
I wonder if we 200 years later will send 100s of people on months long journeys to settle Mars... this was the Starship of its time.
Well, she might have been "scrapped" but on the Falkland Islands she was used as a hulk for storage of coal. And then at some point towed back to England, a very risky business but she survived to tell the tale. I went over her in around 1973 (she was an empty void with temporary planked walkways), but since then she has been "fitted out" and really I must go see her again while I am still able.
Incredible effort 👌 💪🏻
They need to cover the whole with a roof/building to stop the degradation of the upper works.
❤
Great job and thanks for saving such important part off history 👏 ❤

Meisterwerk 🙏🙏
Umm you not him because he designed the ship and launched her I think 1845 and do you really think that burrel will be able to live for 177 years huh ? And why you look so young
Bro he is like making parody or mascot 💀 like its for advertising
You should rebuild the SS Great Eastern, sir
How about the rms queen mary
Thank you to all who saved her and preserve her today. I truly hope I get visit her someday.
I wonder if the same thing could be done with the RMS Queen Mary should the spectacular liner that was similarly once the largest and fastest in the world return home.
amazing I went on it actually
Did you ever find out who the 10 year old boy was?
can someone tell me the music at the beginning of the video please ?
Name any slaves which were transported on the SS Great Britain
This presenter is excellent. Love to see more of her videos, as well as visit the Great Britain. Shout out to the production team as well - fab video 😍
Ticket sales only account for a small portion of the approximately 2.4 million American dollars a year. The government picks up the rest of the tab. Once again hard earned tax payer dollars is shunted away from those in need to those who have it all. Disgusting and pathetic.
first propeller ship was SS Archimedes not SS Great Britain but whatever
Visited the ship finally two weeks ago, was more amazing than I expected
3:00 Watch your head with this metal beam ! 😖
Brilliant pictures of the raising. Would love to see more.
Excellent short film, of an amazing project. I’ve visited the ship several times since it has been back in Bristol, Well done to everyone involved.
Magnificent restoration! Absolutely breathtaking! She looks *stunning!*
I like the great Britain I made a detailed drawing of this vessal
Fantastic.This Is What They Should Do with the Queen mary.
Imagine being in 1843 and never heard of propellers, and seeing this ship move without oars, sails or paddle wheels. Almost like magic!
SHOULD HAVE HAD A QUICK LOOK AT THE POSH DINING PARTS TO END ON, THIS WAS DEPRESSING.
What about the cabins in first cabin!?
I bet you had a lot of people questioning your mental state. But wow you pulled it off. I have worked on tugs all my life and have seen at least a dozen similar salvage operations that failed.
I can't believe how small Stanley was in the map at 5:38. It has grown many times over in the past 50 years.
These gentlmen must be employees of Risdon Beazley, a Southampton uk salvage firm.
Don't you think photos that exist might have been better ?
Bradbury, she's as useful as a lighthouse in the desert.

She was certainly in a terrible state. But well done to all who made her what she is today.
Fantastic effort. Its a shame the RN scrapped all its battleships as one of those would be a great tourist attraction.
they definitely should have kept warspite
What an amazing story. Well done to everyone involved.
Background music/noises....WHY? WHY? WHY?
Because everyone thinks that overproduction is "good". Never enough sound effects, background music, special effects, drama, awfulness, you name it. The more the better, they reason. No matter how awful, gaudy, over the top, even if it obscures things. If they can shoe horn more garbage in "It'll be more better".
Ah Julia a dream is over now I know you are 5 foot 9 and I am only 5 foot 6.
