Brunel's SS Great Britain is one of the most important historic ships in the world. When she was launched in 1843 she was called 'the greatest experiment since the Creation'. By combining size, power and innovative technology, Brunel created a ship that changed history. His vision for the SS Great Britain made her the great-great-grandmother for all modern ships.The steam ship Great Britain is a unique survival from Victorian times: the world's first iron hulled, screw propeller-driven, steam-powered passenger liner, and the only surviving 19th century example of the type. When launched in 1843 she was twice the tonnage of any previous ship, and the combination of revolutionary features in her design had a seminal influence on virtually all modern ships.

As owners of "America's Flagship," the SS United States Conservancy leads the global effort to ensure that this enduring expression of American pride and innovation educates and inspires for generations to come. The Conservancy began as an initiative of the SS United States Preservation Society, a nonprofit organization founded in 1992. The Society helped secure Congressional support for the SS United States through the SS United States Preservation Act of 1992, legislation designed to protect the ship from destruction. The Society also helped secure the ship's listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The ship was added to the Register even though she was less than fifty years of age because of her "compelling national significance," a status earned by less than one percent of the Register's 78,000 historic sites. Launched in 1951... upon her delivery to the United States Lines, the SS United States was most graceful, modern, powerful and sleekest vessel in the world. Based in Washington, D.C.
