SS �Great Britain� with Austins airbags, c 1846.
UNITED KINGDOM - NOVEMBER 26: Engraving drawn and printed by Westbury & Simmons, London, showing the �Great Britain� fitted with airbags patented by Edward Austin. This method of raising the ship was proposed after she ran ashore in September 1846. The 'Great Britain' was the first screw-propelled iron vessel to cross the Atlantic. She was completed in Bristol in 1845 to the plans of Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859) and provided accommodation for about 360 passengers. The Great Britain�s seagoing life ended in the Falkland Islands in 1886. In 1970 she was brought back to the dock in which she was built, for preservation. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)
