		When she was launched the SS Great Western was the largest wooden hulled steam ship in the world and was built to cross the Atlantic.
		The SS Great Western,, was launched at Bristol in 1837 and was a paddle wheeled steamer and was to miss, being the first ship to cross the Atlantic under steam by about three hours.
		The "Great Britain" was remarkable in two ways, she had a new method of propulsion, a steam driven screw, instead of a paddle,and was made of iron not wood.It was the first time either had been used in an ocean going steamer and her success made their future use assured.

	Isambard Kingdom Brunel Summary
		Despite the Great Western's claim of proof that its broad gauge was the better (disputed by at least one Brunel historian), the decision was made to go with Stephenson's standard gauge, mainly because this had already covered a far greater amount of the country.
		By May 1892 (when the broad gauge was abolished) the Great Western had already been re-laid as dual gauge (both broad and standard) and so the transition was a relatively painless one.
		Great Eastern was built at John Scott Russell's Napier Yard in London, and after two trial trips in 1859, set forth the following year on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York on June 17 1860 with Mr.

		SS Leviathan, the original -and launching name of the ship, was planned and constructed for the British -Australien trade, by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a brilliant genius in shipbuilding and engineering, who also constructed the somewhat more famous steamers PS Great Western and SS Great Britain.
		The size of the SS Great Eastern was 5 times, of the biggest ships of her time, and it took another 50 years, before the ship's size was surpassed, in 1899 by SS Oceanic, in length and in 1901 by SS Celtic in tonnage.
		In the eyes of her creator, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the SS Great Eastern, which he always called his "big baby", was a floating centerpiece of British brilliance, extravagance and marvel.

	SS Great Western - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The steamship SS Great Western (named for the Great Western Railway Company) was the first steamship purposely built for the Atlantic crossing.
		Though the Sirius beat the Great Western to New York, arriving on April 22 with forty passengers, they had to burn the cabin furniture, spare yards and one mast to do it, inspiring the similar sequence in Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days (1872).
		Great Western was subsequently awarded the Blue Riband for setting the record for trans-Atlantic travel speed at 8.66 knots, beating Sirius which clocked in at 8.03 knots.

	Waffen-SS Book Pack
		From these humble beginnings, the SS rose to a nominal strength of 38 divisions of over 800,000 men by 1945, representing a sizeable portion of Germany's land forces and more importantly a quarter of her tank forces and a third of her mechanised infantry.
		The best were built around existing Western European volunteer regiments; some, raised from Central Europeans and Russians, were strong in numbers but weak in morale; some were of negligible size, scraped together from remnants and trainees; and some were sinister 'anti-partisan' gangs, assembled from the military dregs of the Eastern Front.
		While the more visible armed SS combat units naturally received all the publicity, especially during the war, it was the rather faceless Allgemeine-SS which wielded the real power.
