Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, arguably the greatest engineer of his time, the giant ship had been four years in the making and had generated unabated interest and controversy.
Six hundred ninety-two feet in length and weighing 22,500 tons, it was six times the tonnage of any ship yet built and was to be propelled by all the technology then available—screw, paddle, and sail. Because of its size, it had to be moved sideways, foot by foot, and it would take an unprecedented three months to launch. Its success was seen as a matter of national pride, a confirmation of Britain’s supremacy at sea.
