This May half term Victorian passengers will take over the SS Great Britain, bringing the historic dockyard to life!
Discover lesser-known stories from the fearless women who travelled on board to pursue new lives across the waves.
Meet those who were brave enough to voyage on Victorian steam ships from actresses to stewardesses, watch as dramas unfold between passengers and hear tales of Victorian life at sea as you explore in, under and around the ship.
