FOUR NIGHT HALF BOARD SHORT BREAK

For this trip, we will be staying at the Hampton by Hilton Hotel in Bristol.   The hotel is superbly located for both business and leisure travellers in the heart of the city centre.  This trip offers coach travel, four nights half board Hotel and includes excursions to SS Great Britain, the Blue Glass Factory, a City Dock cruise with cream tea and a four hour Blue Badge guided tour which will include the Clifton Suspension Bridge and visitor centre.

Brunel’s SS Great Britain is one of the most important historic ships in the world.   When she was launched in 1843, she was called ‘the greatest experiment since the creation’.   No one had ever designed so vast a ship, nor had the vision to build it of iron.   Brunel fitted her with a 1000 hp steam engine, the most powerful yet used at sea.   Perhaps most daring of all, Brunel rejected using conventional paddle wheels to drive his ship.   Instead, he gave the SS Great Britain a screw propeller.   This was the newest invention in maritime technology.   By seeing how to combine these key innovations, Brunel created a ship that changed history.

On 7 April 1970, a team of expert divers managed to re-float the SS Great Britain, after spending days plugging holes in the ship’s hull and pumping out water.   It took two more weeks, working in terrible weather conditions, for the salvage team to secure the ship on to a huge floating pontoon.   Finally, on the 24th of April, the ship began her 87 day voyage back to Bristol across the Atlantic Ocean.   The 8,000-mile journey to Avonmouth was the longest ever under tow, and the re-floating and return to Bristol beneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge was watched by crowds of spectators and millions on television.

The SS Great Britain Trust is a dedicated education charity with a vision to protect the legacy of Brunel and the SS Great Britain and inspire engineers and entrepreneurs of the future.   Alive with hundreds of sights, sounds and even smells inspired by real passenger accounts, the ship and its two adjacent museums allow you to discover Brunel’s Victorian world and experience life on board.
