Now, when it seems so tiny against modern vessels, it's difficult to comprehend that the SS Great Britain was once described as 'The Greatest Experiment Since The Creation'!
Even by modern standards, though, it's extremely impressive, and Wilson enjoyed pretending to steer it, shouting commands like, 'Full Astern, Scottie!' and 'Raise the Mainsail — make it so, Mr Riker!'
Next he wants to go 'belowdecks' to see the propellor and the engines, while I'm looking forward to seeing the cabins.
