	History of the Atlantic Cable & Submarine Telegraphy - Great Eastern
		The 'Great Eastern' was alive; but mighty as she was, still she was amenable to that vast throb and pulsation of the sea which is mightier than the mightiest.
		Thus ended the first transatlantic voyage of the 'Great Eastern', and though it may be regarded as a failure in the way of speed, it will be perceived there were interests at stake which transcended that consideration, and which doubtless justified the commander in the unusual care he took to keep the great ship safe.
		Great Eastern left Sheerness on 24 June and took on board a further 1,500 tons of coal at the Nore, this brought her total deadweight to 21,000 tons, of which 7,000 tons was cable.

		It was Brunel's final great project, and he collapsed from a stroke after being photographed on her deck, and died only ten days later, a mere four days after Great Eastern's first sea trials.
		She was involved in a series of accidents, including a bizarre incident in which an overheated boiler launched a funnel like a rocket, killing a crew member and five boiler men in the process.
		However, the Great Eastern's inner hull was unbroken, and she made her way into New York the next day under her own steam.

		The Great Eastern was the brainchild of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a brilliant British engineer who had made a career out of pushing the structural envelope.
		To say the Great Eastern was the largest ship in the world would not do her justice, since she did not just exceed previous records, she shattered them.
		The Great Eastern was so massive, in fact, that she had to be launched sideways on the Thames River, an effort that ended up taking almost three months.

		Great Eastern made ten voyages in the North Atlantic passenger trade, but two accidents (neither of them fatal) that cost the company £130,000 forced her out of that trade, and in 1864 she was sold to the newly formed Great Eastern Steamship Company.

		During the Great Eastern’s sixth voyage and with her seventh captain, Captain Paton, the ship, heavy with cargo, struck a huge rock pinnacle, which had until then lay unnoticed under the sea, just off the coast of New York.
