till 183?. did the work seriously begin.
At that time the Lloyds began to build
small iron steamers for short. voyages.
A certain amount of prejudice had to be
overcome. for there were many doubts
as to its strength and buoyancy. But it
made its way. and the first cucccsxfnl
iron steamer made a trausatlaut‘c voyage
in l<4tl,thc G real Britaindaunchcd by the
(.lrcat “'cstcrn company. In thahe days
the Great Britain was rated as an unusu-
ally large sized ship. It wu a ship of
3.000 tons burden. and was an iron screw
steamer combining the new methods of
propulsion and construction. The voy-
age was successful, and the ship is still
in existence. and till within a few years
at least, ran to Austnlia. Her success
led to imitations in the English purine,
and in 1850 the lawn line was estab-
lished between Liverpool and New York
