BCA. 1972. xiv. 345pp. 30 ills. 23x15. An excellent unmarked copy: Fine in VG+ d/j.. Brunel began his career in 1823 as his father's assistant in the construction of the Blackwall Tunnel under the Thames. In 1833 he was appointed engineer of the projected Great Western Railway. He designed and built the Great Western which was the first steamship to make regular crossings of the Atlantic, and went on to build an even larger ship, the Great Britain which was the world's first large iron steamship, the largest ship afloat at the time, and the first big ship in which a screw propellor was fitted. Brunel envisaged a ship large enough to carry in her bunkers all the coal required for a voyage to Australia. Named the Great Eastern, this enormous ship was laid down in 1853, but many problems were experienced during the course of her construction and in the launching, that she did not finally get afloat until 1858. She was by far the largest ship ever to be built up to that time, with a length of 680ft and displacement of 18,915 tons. This full biography covers the many different engineering projects associated with Brunel, who is probably best remembered mainly for his work on iron steamships. £7.50
