Description
This was taken earlier this year at the ships dry dock in Bristol where she was built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in the 1800's. There is a great deal of information 'on line' if you care to look but she was the first iron clad ever built and was driven by steam and also had sail.

A fantastic figurehead and a great capture of it. A wonderful zoom and POV.

Wow Jeff! Thanks for the heads-up! I did not get this close to her, only saw her across the water - quite an old lady! Clive

Super shot Jeff! I've just spent a couple of days in Bristol, and drove past her on the way home. :) Awesome engineer IK Brunel!
