About this book
Railways, bridges, docks and ocean steamships fill this 1870 biography of the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, written by his son, a member of Lincoln's Inn. Early chapters cover his birth in 1806, his father's Thames Tunnel and the competitions for the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Later ones deal with the Great Western Railway, the Broad Gauge, the atmospheric system on the South Devon Railway and the steamships Great Western and Great Eastern, the last finished in 1859, the year of Brunel's death. William Bell, long on Brunel's engineering staff, wrote the chapters on bridges and docks.
