S.S. Great Britain, Picture 31, Edited Version, Bristol, England (UK), 2012


Here are the original built masts, or at least an older set of built masts, from the S.S. Great Britain. Over the years, several different sets of masts have been used, so it isn't clear if these are the originals. In any case, while suitable for display, they aren't in good enough condition even for non-functioning use on the actual ship anymore. The mizzen mast is missing, being on display in Port Stanley, in the Falkland Islands. The S.S. Great Britain was moored in the Falklands from 1884 until 1970, and when the ship was returned to Bristol the mizzen was left behind for public display. A number of other parts of the ship were also salvaged over the years, particularly when the Battle of the Falkland Islands (in 1914) badly damaged several Royal Navy ships, most notably H.M.S. Exeter. During the battle, and during the months when there were naval battles in the South Atlantic, S.S. Great Britain provided coal to the fleet, making this the only time that S.S. Great Britain saw combat (if somewhat indirectly, as there was never any armament installed that I'm aware of).
