Excerpt from History and Description of the Steam-Ship Great Britain, Built at Bristol for the Great Western Steam-Ship Company: To Which Are Added, Remarks on the Comparative Merits of Iron and Wood as Materials for Ship-Building

This splendid iron ship - the largest vessel we believe in the world - was launched, or rather floated off, from the dock at Bristol in which she was built, on the 19th of July, 1843, in the immediate presence of Prince Albert and a large concourse of noblemen and gentlemen, and families of the first distinction from nearly every quarter of the kingdom, as well as of many thousands of spectators belonging to that town, and congregated on the adjacent heights, and every available point of view on shore, or from vessels on the river. The untoward delays that afterwards arose in getting the vessel ready for sea, are already before the public. Every difficulty has happily been overcome; and as the vessel has already most satisfactorily solved the problem involved in the magnitude of her construction, and her peculiar mode of propulsion (from which a new era in ocean steam navigation will henceforth be dated), we have taken steps to gratify our readers by a more detailed account of the leviathan and her machinery, with statistics, illustrated by wood-cuts, presenting views of her hull, machinery, &c., so that an accurate idea of the whole may be attained at a glance.

General Description of the Great Britain.

The vessel is entirely built of iron, with the exception of the boarding of her decks and some of her cabin fittings and carved-work.
