A news story about the sailing of Brunel's SS Great Western

Other History

Most newspapers often included items of news that, while not of direct interest to local people, were of semi-national interest and this is one such example for the Gloucester Journal, a news story regarding the sailing of Brunel’s SS Great Western, then just a year old. This news report provides the number of passengers and those who were classed as ‘gentry’. They Great Western averaged 16 days, 0 hours (7.95 knots) westward to New York and 13 days, 9 hours (9.55 knots) home.
