EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the construction progress of the SS Great Eastern, also known as the Leviathan in its early stages, at the Millwall Iron Works in the Isle of Dogs on the River Thames in London during May 1855. Designed by the visionary Isambard Kingdom Brunel, this colossal iron sailing steamship was being built by J. Scott Russell & Co. The construction commenced in the spring of 1854, and the launch took place in January 1858. At the time, the SS Great Eastern was the largest ship ever built, with an impressive capacity to carry 4,000 passengers from England to Australia without the need for refueling. The wooden scaffolding and iron framework are evident in this image, showcasing the intricate process of shipbuilding during the 1850s in the 19th century. Brunel's innovative design revolutionized the transport industry, and the SS Great Eastern remains a significant milestone in the history of steamships and maritime engineering.
