S11·E6 S.S. Great Britain

The Most Haunted team led by Yvette Fielding are in Bristol to investigate the S.S. Great Britain. Brunel’s great nautical triumph was launched in 1843 after four back breaking years of construction. It immediately broke all existing records, described as “the greatest experiment since the Creation”. She was both the largest & the strongest ship ever built. By the mid 1800’s she was regularly plying to and from Australia carrying thousands of migrants to a new life down under. It is said that many modern day Australians can trace their family line back to those that under took those voyages on this great ship. Conditions were hard and many lost their lives on the long journey. What fired the collective imagination of the team were the many stories of hauntings connected with the ship, from its original conception through its many voyages to its final return, and to be the first to carry out a paranormal investigation on its decks was an opportunity they could not turn down.
