See if you can also spot Brunel’s SS Great Britain – the first ever iron steam ship to cross the Atlantic back in 1845.
(And once you come back down to earth, why not hop aboard the famous ship itself where it sits in a dry dock. You can even ‘walk beneath its glass sea’ for a peek at parts of the ship normally hidden below the waterline.)
