{{newreview|author= Helen Doe|title= The First Atlantic Liner: Brunel's Great Western Steamship|rating= 4.5|genre= History|summary= Isambard Kingdom Brunel's enduring seafaring monuments were the Great Britain and Great Eastern. Their forerunner the Great Western, which paved the way and yet is now largely forgotten, at last merits a full account in this book. Ms Doe admits at the front that she is not an engineer, and as a maritime historian her interests are more social and economic than technical. Her aim is to tell the story of the ship, that of the people who travelled on her as crew or passengers, and her influence on subsequent maritime history after an existence of barely two decades.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1445667207</amazonuk>}}{{newreview <!-- remove 5/8 -->
